| Trip: Shenandoah or Potomac River Whitewater Rafting |
Description:
 Harpers Ferry rafting - Come share a scenic, heart pounding, family adventure - whitewater rafting on the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia where Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia come together. River Riders has the expertise, guides, and equipment to meet all your outdoor adventure needs, near Washington, DC and Baltimore - only an hour away.
Whitewater Rafting on the Shenandoah or Potomac River Our most popular adventure and a guest favorite through the years, this whitewater rafting trip down the last reaches of the Shenandoah or Potomac River includes slow water solitude and whitewater action. In slow water watch for ospreys, great blue herons, and bald eagles; enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge; and talk with your raftmates. But be ready for thrills and spills as you charge over “Bull Falls” and whoosh through “Bull’s Tail”, before heading through the Shenandoah’s mile-long “Staircase” rapid. Take in the history and scenery of the Shenandoah River as you float past Harpers Ferry National Historic Park between the soaring cliffs of Maryland and Loudon Heights, where you join the mighty Potomac. On the Potomac watch out for the snarl of the “Mad Dog” and hold onto your boots as you ride the wild “White Horse.” This beautiful and exciting trip is for everyone: beginners to seasoned guests! (Class I-III - sometimes Class I-II+)
Rafts, paddles, life jackets, beverage and shuttle to and from the river are provided. Rafts accommodate as many as seven guests. No previous rafting experience required. However, participants should have no fear of water activities, and you will get wet. Reservations are required. Minimum age 6 to 8, but at least 50 lbs. On most busy weekends our photographer takes pictures of your trip that will be available for viewing & purchase! On the weekdays groups of 10 or more can hire our photographer for your trip.

"I wanted to share with you our deep appreciation for the guiding you offered to our group last week. Taking 30 8th graders on an outdoor adventure can be a risky business, but because of your professionalism, your vigilance, and your experience, we all felt completely safe (which allowed us to have a terrific time on the river and on the trail). Thank you for contributing to such a positive experience for our students, and we look forward to seeing you again next spring.
"My husband Gordon and I wanted to say again how much we enjoyed our whitewater trip on Sunday. Our guide Isaac was fabulous. We were disappointed when we went to get our group picture and he had already ridden off on his skateboard! So, we took the best thing -----BEN!! What a hoot he was... We also enjoyed the ride back with Nick's witty stories!!!! And who could forget Shane and his wild man, untamed look. For a stay-at-home mom, this was truly an exciting day. You all have a first-class operation... We are ready for our next adventure!!! We will definitely return next year, kids in tow…"
"I wanted to thank you for the accommodations you made for us. The kids had a great time (adults too!). The rafting was excellent. I will make sure I encourage other Scouting organizations to consider using your company. The dinner was well received as well.
The boys were very excited about the trip, and the enthusiasm continued when we returned to Brunswick Family Campground and found that a Girl Scout troop was setting up next to us. That created an entirely different set of problems for us!" |
