Rafting the Gauley! River Rage 2011!

Songer Whitewater (map)

Selected By: Dante

This summer you've rafted the Nantahala, the French Broad, the Pigeon, Ocoee, and the Chattooga with Outdoor Club South! Are you ready for a challenge?

Rated one of the Top 10 whitewater runs on earth, the Upper Gauley is the mack-daddy of American rafting. It's big, fun, funky, and harder than a sack of hammers. Get ready for some major adventure! Folks from all over the U.S.A. will be joining us for River Rage Gauley 2010! Expect 200 or more amazing adventure seekers from all over the US! This event is 19 years running now.

Your choice of running the upper or lower Gauley.  Both sections feature Class III-V rapids. If you've run Class III rapids (Ocoee, Chattoga) and were comfortable then you're probably OK. This is NOT a good beginner trip though.

This is an "all inclusive" type of trip and includes the following:

  • Two nights camping (Friday & Saturday)
  • Rafting on the upper OR lower Gauley!
  • Gear and guides provided!
  • 2 dinners, 1 lunch, 1 breakfast (Friday evening - Sunday morning)
  • Fri night party (Theme TBD), Sat night party (Inappropriate Tee-Shirt Theme), beverages, prizes!

Cost for the Upper Gauley trip is $200 + $7 PayPal Fees

Cost for the Lower Gauley trip is $180 + $6 PayPal Fees (be sure to edit the amount on the PayPal form)

You may also add Thursday night lodging if you would like to come up a day earlier.  This is a car camping trip so load up on whatever you need to be comfortable!

Registration and payment deadline is August 23rd.  The Gauley has a VERY LIMITED season and the spots fill up soon. If you're interested BOOK NOW so we can hold the spots.

 

 

Here's some video from my trip two years ago!
