Review of Ace Adventure Resort

Went rafting down the Upper Gauley River last week...

Went rafting down the Upper Gauley River last weekend with ACE. I am not kidding when I say this is the most fun thing I have ever done in my life. I wasn't prepared for Class V rapids, but our rafting guide Susan was amazing. She has been guiding this river for a long time, and from what I understand she has trained a lot of guides on the Gauley at ACE. When I go back I'm requesting her specifically. Although I wouldn't recommend it, you could go down this stretch of river with no rafting experience at all with guides like this. They also have a photographer and videographer John, who was hilarious and made a great video and photos from the trip.

As far as the resort, ACE was in incredible shape. They have everything you can do under the sun: Waterparks, mountain biking, rafting, river duckies, mountain climbing, etc. The list goes on
I am definitely coming back in a month or so for "Gauley Season," which is where they do controlled releases of the water from the Summersville dam. This makes Gauley rafting all the more fun, and I intend on finding out how much fun.
If you get the chance to come here, DO IT!!! You will not regret it.
