Gauley

The ANIMAL Upper Gauley Race #17 - September 21st

A downriver race on this legendary section of river. This race is now Sweet 17! Beginning near the base of Summersville Dam, the race ends nine miles downstream. Paddlers must negotiate the ‘Big Five’ on the Upper Gauley and the finish line is at a 12 foot drop called Sweet’s Falls. Over the years, this race has grown in notoriety and participation. The post-race awards party has become a popular event in itself. At the dinner, racers enjoy a buffet dinner, live music, prizes and a great party!

SO- C'mon paddle the Gauley like you mean it!
