Weekend Vacation in WV

Post by MadMasher »

Hey, wondering if any WV members could tell me about the New River Gorge(Lansing WV?) and if it worth the long drive for a few days rafting and hiking in late April? Thanks in advance

Rafting New River Gorge is kickass . Best call ahead to check water conditions . Winter we've had , conditions might be kinda rough in the Gorge .
If you ain't the lead dog in the team , the scenery never changes . Ga Flatwoods made my avatar and I want to thank him for that .
Don't drink water , fish fornicate in it .

If you rock climb at all it is so worth it.

Thanks for the input. I will definitely call ahead when it gets closer, planning for the end of April. Hoping it won't be too cold to camp. Also looks like the place offers several different rafting options from really easy to class V rapids. They also offer a 3 zip line courses.

@ Woodshed, I like to rock climb but I fear I am too weak now lol, although I just started the "Insanity" workouts. Last year we went somewhere for hiking and my wife was trying to get down a small rock wall and was seriously 8 inches from the ground clinging to the rock, it was hilarious, but I doubt she would be up for it.

I might add other options are mammoth cave and big south fork, both in Ky.
