What Are My Responsibilites as a Raft Guest?
Whitewater rafting and many of the other adventure activities we offer on our website occur in the outdoors and may be hours from advanced medical care. Each activity has inherent dangers. The State of West Virginia has a Whitewater Responsibility Act which includes guest responsibilities. Below, we also recommend the following: • To be able to speak and understand spoken English or have someone in your group who can translate for you. • To be comfortable in water while wearing a PFD (personal floation device). (PDF Maximum Chest Size is 52″) • To be able to swim (if you plan to raft the Upper Gauley River, the Lower Gauley River or the Lower New River from March thru June 15th). • If you have a medical condition or are unsure whether you are physically able to participate on a whitewater rafting trip, consult your physician prior to your arrival date. • If you make an on-line reservation, we recommend that you still contact our office prior to your arrival date by phone to confirm all
