white water rafting on the North Branch of the Potomac River Ready to pass the Shenandoah

on our patented River Riders Fun-o-Meter? Then join us on a raft trip down the renowned North Branch of the Potomac River. The high water volumes and steeper gradient of the North Branch create waves up to 6 ft. high, and continuous class II to III+ action keeps your heart pounding and your raft moving. Brief sections of calm water between rapids allow relaxing, swimming, and cliff jumping.

Controlled releases from the Jennings Randolph Dam create premium conditions for whitewater rafting on specified weekends in April, May, September and October (see dates below) on the North Branch of the Potomac. Our put-in is located about 1/2 hour south of Cumberland, Maryland, and the trip runs seven miles from Barnum, WV to Bloomington, MD.

white water rafting on the North Branch of the Potomac River The North Branch trip includes life jackets, paddles, guide, shuttle transportation and snack. You can add to the challenge and adventure in a stable, quick, and maneuverable inflatable kayak AKA a duckie at no additional charge.

Minimum suggested age is 10.
Water temperatures are cooler on dam release trips so we generally recommend wearing a wetsuit. Please call to inquire and reserve sizes.
