I had a great time white water rafting at Zoar Outdoor! It was well-organized and the guides were experienced and friendly. We had Brian as a guide and he was great! We did the Zoar gap trip this time, I would love to go back and do the dry run rapids next time. We also stayed at the Hawk Mountain lodge which was very convenient.

We had a great time on our trip - Muhammad, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable of the river. We would definitely do it again!

We had a blast. Our guide Randy was excellent. We will definitely go back. The pictures are awesome and well priced. The food was delicious for a picnic lunch.
