One of the oldest rivers in the world, the New River has something for everyone. In spring, the river roars with high-water adventure. As summer approaches, the water returns to its normal riverbed and offers whitewater that is fun for the whole family. Autumn finds the river winding its way through the the mountains during their annual explosion of color. The scenic wonders and unforgettable whitewater make the New River a perfect destination for people who expect more out of life than rush hour traffic!
