Rafting and activities near Pipestem West Virginia

[michigansandzil]

We'll be staying at Pipestem state park for 5 days next August.
My kids are 14, 12, 8.
We'd like to go white water rafting and zip lining. Any suggestions for places to do those activities? It seems like there are several companies in the area. Any to seek out or avoid?
Thanks

Thanks. How's the drive? Mapquest gives it 1.5 hours. I wonder if it'd be best to stay at ACE for a day and then move to Pipestem?

Friends of mine go to the WVA NEW RIVER Gorge area for what they call just right whitewater rafting in a large group every year. They setup camp along the river and when they hit the waters the tent group goes ahead of them many miles and setup camp again. Sometimes they have taken NEW RIVER all the way down into Virginia doing this.

I have no idea if this is near where you are going to or not...

Sounds like fun...
