Whitewater Rafting on the Shenandoah River
Our most popular adventure and a guest favorite through the years, this whitewater rafting trip down the last reaches of the Shenandoah 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 “Mad Dog” and hold onto your boots as you ride the wild “White Horse.”
(Class I-III) 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.
