This is your chance to take a trip down the historic New River with no experience required. Be prepared to get a little wet though.. You will be escorted by expert river guides and a birding/nature guide to help you identify wildlife as you go.  A bus will leave Mt. Lake Hotel for the raft trip  For the most part, this is a sit back and bird experience but in case of a headwind, be prepared to pick up a paddle and help out. Don’t forget the sunscreen, raingear, layered clothes for warmth, and sunglasses. Hats with tie-on straps and neck cords to hold your sunglasses are most helpful.
