We're easy to find. Once on Route 19, continue to Fayetteville looking for the intersection with a traffic light at Court Street and US 19. This will be a left turn if traveling south or a right turn if traveling north. You should see a Tudor's Biscuit World on the south corner on the town side of the interstate. Proceed up the hill into downtown Fayetteville on Court Street you will see the county courthouse on your left. There is a traffic light at the corner of the courthouse lawn. Stay straight on Court Street until you're through town (about 1/4 mile) and start going down a hill. The road curves to your right and you'll see the road split. This is the nearest GPS location which is a bakery and Charlie's Pub on your right at 190 South Court Street. Take a left onto Gatewood Road which is across the street from the bakery and Charlie's Pub. Travel Gatewood Rd. for 4/10's of mile. Cantrell Rafting will be on your right. Can't miss us! If you need help while you are driving call 304-877-8235.

Cancellation Policy
Due to state regulations, we have a set number of passengers we can accommodate daily. For this reason we have the following policy: A Deposit of 50% Per Person or 50% of the entire balance owed is required to confirm all reservations and is due at the time of booking. Reservations must be paid in full 30 days prior to your trip date. Reservations made less than 30 days in advance must be paid for in full by Cash, Travelers Check, Money Order, Cashiers Check, Visa, Master Card or Discover. Reservations not paid in full 30 days in advance may be canceled without notice. To qualify for a refund Ultimate must receive notice of cancellation at least 31 days prior to your trip date. There will be no refund for cancellations made 30 days or less from the scheduled trip date. Because conditions usually improve, we rarely cancel a trip due to inclement weather or other reasons. Cantrell reserves the right to change rivers, sections of rivers, or trip times due to weather conditions or other reasons, water fluctuations, or other factors beyond our control. It is unlikely but if we cancel the day's activities, a complete refund amount will be made in the form of a rain check and could be limited to actual payment made minus any other incurred costs we need to recover. We reserve the right to reschedule or cancel (without refund) your trip under the following conditions: You miss your confirmed trip time; you show signs of being under the influence of intoxicating beverages or any controlled substances; it is decided you are physically unable to participate in that particular Ultimate Adventure. There will be no refund for those who arrive after their assigned trip has departed. Because operating funds are committed long before trip departure, few, if any, of these expenses can be recovered on late cancellations. If you cancel your reservation more than 31 days in advance we will refund the full reservation amount . NO REFUND will be made when a reservation is canceled less than 30 days in advance, however, we will issue a gift certificate that can be used thru the current season or the next season. Cancellations made within this thirty day window are subject to a $10 cancellation fee.
