The George Washington 226th Anniversary White Water Rafting Trip with Lunch
*Now on Saturdays*
Just two dates left: August 27 and September 3rd
Enjoy your Saturday mornings in August floating through the waterways of history as you raft the Potomac River outside of Harpers Ferry, WV. This 3 hour trip takes you back in time and along the same route that on August 7-8, 1785 when he was just 22 years old, George Washington took. Washington visited Keep Tryst, our rafting put-in near Harpers Ferry while examining rapids of the Potomac River with regard to a skirting canal that became the C & O canal. On your journey you will ride alongside the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, pass by the historic district of Harpers Ferry then through the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. Beyond the confluence enter WhiteHorse (the Spout) in which Washington wrote “1/2 mile below the mouth of the Shenandoah is what they call the Spout…The canoe I was in which was small had near sunk having received much water on both sides.” All this while learning from an experienced and knowledgeable river guide about the unique history that makes up our area. This trip runs Class I – II+ (beginner to intermediate) rapids and with summer water levels makes this a great trip for water lovers who weigh at least 30lbs.
Come out and experience history like never before on a trip you will not soon forget.
DATES: Saturday August 27 and Saturday September 3rd
TIMES: 9am
REQUIREMENTS: minimum weight of 30lbs and a love of history and the outdoors
