Raft
Self Guided White Water RaftingDESCRIPTION
Take our popular white water rafting to the next level and navigate the Potomac River on your own! Gather your friends or family to experience the mild rapids together and enjoy the solitude. If you don't have previous white water rafting experience, choose a guide assisted trip for a little extra help and instruction on controling the boat and navigating the rapids.
White water rafting trips on the Needles Section of the Potomac River include slow water solitude and white water waves. In calm water, watch for ospreys, great blue herons, and bald eagles. Enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge and talk with your raft mates while you enjoy a leisurely paddle. Be ready for waves and white water as you go through a series of rapids in the Needles. Take in the history and scenery of the Potomac River as you float past Harpers Ferry National Historic Park and into the confluence, where The Shenandoah River joins the mighty Potomac between the soaring cliffs of Maryland and Loudon Heights! 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! (Class I-III)
Rafts, paddles, personal floatation devices (PFDs), and a shuttle to and from the river are provided for all trips. Rafts accommodate 4 guests. Though previous rafting experience is recommended, it is not required. However, participants should have no fear of water activities, as you will get wet! Reservations are required. Minimum age 6 to 8, but at least 50 lbs. The average guest completes this trip in about 2 hours, however the trip can take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on water levels and personal pace. You are welcome to take time to swim, surf, and enjoy mother nature. **
