Looking for something the whole family can enjoy together? Try our Upper New River rafting adventure! Duckie-ing the New River is one of the best West Virginia family vacations as this beautiful river is both tranquil and yet introduces you to a delightful taste of white water rafting.
This Upper New River trip takes you through exceptionally scenic canyons on relatively calm water with a few easy rapids and plenty of places for playing or just hanging out. We'll select the best section available, depending on the water level and other factors. This is the best family vacation for families with adventurous young ones.
It's so much fun to paddle your own inflatable duckie*. Your trip will include a single or double duckie for each person (or pair) in your group.
Or plan to spend the evening on the river with an Upper New River Overnighter for an all inclusive family vacation.
*What Is A Duckie?
"Duckies" are inflatable, one or two--man crafts shaped somewhat like kayaks. Our ducks are self-bailing, which means water that splashes in will drain out. They are stable, easy to maneuver, and most of all, a blast! You'll get to experience a more personal whitewater rafting challenge and have the experience of a lifetime.
Don't want to duckie?
Let your reservationist know. We can schedule you for a standard boat as well.
Beautiful scenic canyons with mild rapids for everyone on your family rafting vacation.

I just wanted to thank you all for an exceptional weekend.Your outfit is top notch. I've rarely experienced such attention to detail e.g. a cooler of cold drinks waiting for us by the bus after our rafting trip, or the firewood delivered to our campsite.The staff was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. The facilities were in excellent condition. The food was great even the river side lunch during our rafting trip was over the top! And last but not least, a bar on the premises!I will definitely be returning in the future and will highly recommend Rivermen to anyone looking for an outdoor adventure.Thanks!Jonah
