Just got back from doing the UPPER gauley at the end of september. Had a great guide: Jason Swann, we killed it. Can't wait for next year!

This river isn't in Maine. It is in West Virgina. It is the upper Gauley and it is the best white water east of the Mississippi.

I rafted it and my guide said I was crazy because i wanted to do it in a canoe... I am a OC1 white water canoeist. I even talked about j-stroke. Unheard of to our guide. He told me I would be splinters at the bottom of a drop. Hmmm guess 3 rivers aint never heard of whitesell canoes... Nuff said. I did it in a raft and it was easy stuff. I like technical water in a canoe with bags. I would have jumped at that than sat for boring row right, row left, etc etc etc... But I was the bad guytotheguide

Hi ashuleh1: Yes Whitewater rafting is an extreme sport... But all of our guides are very well trained and certified. That being said statically it is safer to raft than to drive a car. We have milder options on the New River that are great fun, you could work up to "The Beast".
