Whitewater rafting is one of America's favorite recreational activities. Each year, over 250,000 enthusiasts come to West Virginia to experience some of the country's finest whitewater on the New and Gauley Rivers. What makes the whitewater experience so compelling, so satisfying, and so incredibly exhilarating? It's real! No video game or amusement park ride can compare to this primal adventure.

  As you drift through the gorge, the growing roar of the next rapid pierces the air. Anticipation mounts as your raft picks up speed and approaches the drop. Just then your guide commands, "All forward!" There isn't time to think. You paddle forward, stroke after stroke, when suddenly you glance up just as a towering white wall of water crashes over the bow. The water is everywhere, and for a fleeting moment, you wonder if you're still in the raft, but you keep digging in as the raft peaks the next wave, rocking you back only to propel you forward once again as it thrusts downward in the next instance.

  It's a roller coaster of excitement! As you near the bottom, the rapids begin to calm and you remember to breathe. The adrenaline rush is unbelievable! "I can't wait for the next rapid!" you announce through one of the biggest smiles of your life. It's then and there, you know you're hooked.
