Once again another person who does'nt know anything about white water canoeing. I've done the grand canyon. And I paddled water that was bigger and far more technical. Much of the canyon is non-stop class 3 and 4 rapids.And yes I can read water and find lines.

your guide was probably right... and if you think the gauley was boring try swimming it... cus that's probably what you would end up doing if you canoed it. Do you know the lines on upper gauley? I doubt it and being in anything other than a raft on the gauley without knowing the lines is just stupid

I did the Upper Gauley in October 2000. This was the best rafting trip ever for me!

Wow this looks crazy. We have pretty good rafting in Whistler too, but those rapids look fun

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!

That is AWESOME!!! I just went down the new river this year for the first time and I cannot wait to get to the Gauley next Fall!!!!

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
