Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need riding experience to join a horseback trail ride?
No prior experience is necessary. Guides match riders with suitable horses and provide a basic orientation before the trail begins.
Can we combine horseback riding and rafting on the same day?
Yes, multi-activity packages are available. It's best to call ahead so staff can schedule your day to avoid conflicts and give you enough time for each activity.
What is the minimum age for horseback riding?
Age and weight restrictions can vary by tour, so it's worth confirming when you book. Generally, children as young as 6 or 7 can participate in guided rides with a parent or guardian present.
What should I wear for a trail ride near the New River Gorge?
Closed-toe shoes or boots with a small heel are strongly recommended. Long pants are a good idea to avoid chafing during longer rides, and layers work well since temperatures in the gorge can shift.
Is fishing guided, or can I fish on my own?
Guided fishing trips are available and give you access to local knowledge about productive spots on the New and Gauley Rivers. West Virginia fishing licenses are required and can typically be arranged before your trip.
How far in advance should I book during peak season?
Summer weekends fill up quickly, especially for whitewater trips and combo packages. Booking at least two to three weeks ahead is a good idea from June through September.
