This is what Summersville Lake looks like once the water has gone down the Gauley. Water starts draining from the Summersville Dam and into the Gauley River, each fall, creating class V rapids that create the Gauley rafting season. The summertime boat ramp becomes a durable path to walk down to the otherworldly landscape. Just be careful of the mud! https://visitwv.com/about/our-area/nicholas-county/ #visitwv | Visit Southern West Virginia

The Gauley River in southern West Virginia is ranked as one of the world's top spots for whitewater rafting. It features class IV to VI rapids and is famous for its "Big 5" on its upper section. The raging river is caused by the six-week release of water from the Summersville Dam, which drains Summersville Lake. This release creates a guaranteed wild whitewater rafting trip, giving the Gauley River the nickname "The Beast of the East." Lower Gauley River trips are beginner-friendly, while Upper

Feels illegal to get this close the the second largest rock-fill dam in the Eastern USA. Summersville Dam towers 390 ft high and stretches 2.280 ft long, holding back the Gauley River until it's released for world-class whitewater every fall 🌊. #Gauley #KayakLife #Hydrology #WestVirginia #AlmostHeaven #beenhavingdreams #BeastoftheEast | NRG Video Production
