The New River is widely regarded as containing some of the best white water rapids in the Unites States. The scenery in the New River Gorge is also quite spectacular, especialy the New River Gorge Bridge. The river contains many class III-V rapids. However, there are large calm areas between the rapids which give you an opportunity to take it easy. I took New & Gauly River Adventures "New River Express" package which lasts 2-3 hours. It is shorter and cheaper than some of their other packages but it still hits most of the good rapids. I found the river guides to be very professional and they were definitely concerned with my safety. They also give you the opportunity to swim through some of the rapids.
