Posted by Susan in Uncategorized on Mar 3rd, 2011 | 0 commentsThe Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve will become both a gateway to adventure and the heart of awesome service projects in the area. The episode — part 2 in the series — follows Venturing Crews 32 and 44 from North Carolina as they cast their way down the New River Gorge fishing for smallmouth bass with the guides of West Virginia Experience. Their fishing adventure follows a day of hard work volunteering to revegetate a high-traffic access point on the Gauley River. Fishing on the New River Gorge can be the experience of a lifetime. The rocky sandstone riverbed and favorable water temperatures makes for incredible smallmouth bass habitat, and the fish are on during the entire year. Many of the fishing guides are New River Gorge natives, and they know the river as well as anyone ever could. The method most guides use to ply the river is, just as in the video. Be sure to check out Part 3 of this series, as some of the Venturers will take an even wilder ride down the same river — but this time taking on the whitewater rapids of the New River Gorge.

Posted by Susan in Virginia Tourism on Oct 7th, 2010 | 0 commentswww.aceraft.com Video by Pansy Parker showcasing Pillow Rock, one of the class V whitewater rapids on the Upper Gauley River in West Virginia. Parker shot the video by hiking down the extremely steep 6/10-mile Fisherman's Trail from Carnifex Ferry State Park, a Civil War battle site. Parker made the epic trek to view ACE rafts in action before her first-ever rafting trip — and now she's hooked. This video was part of Parker's submission to the Great Gauley Blog-Off, an essay contest sponsored by ACE Adventure Resort: www.aceraft.com
