Whitewater Rafting Shenandoah & Potomac
Rivers
The Shenandoah, whose American Indian
translation is "daughter of the stars," provides an excellent venue for an
historical whitewater rafting trip. Travel on two rivers through three states
(Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia) on an unforgettable 2- to 4.5-hour
guided tour. Rafters float by the historic town of Harpers Ferry while hearing
stories from our guides about events that led to the Civil War. A tasty
riverside picnic is included on this introductory whitewater adventure.
Join River &Trail Outfitters on the final
stretches of the Shenandoah River as it tumbles into the Potomac River, carving
a spectacular 6.5-mile watercourse through the Blue Ridge Mountains. During
periods of low water the trip is exclusively on the Potomac, coursing through a
majestic water gap with a view Thomas Jefferson wrote was worth a voyage across
the Atlantic. Both trips offer Class I-III whitewater made up of some mellow
water, permitting splashing and floating, multiple riffles and ledges, and a
variety of challenging rapids such as "Bull Falls" and "White Horse." Our
experienced guides lead your trip showing you the best routes through the
rapids while entertaining you with river lore. Weather permitting, our trips
take a break to allow you to soak up some sun and enjoy a picnic right on the
river!
When should you raft? Anytime is a great time to
experience whitewater rafting. Controlled only by natural forces, the river in
springtime means bigger waves and a high adventure ride. As summer approaches,
the water returns to its normal levels, permitting swimming and fun in the sun.
Autumn brings a new look to the Blue Ridge Mountains as rafters witness the
unparalleled beauty of Appalachian Fall colors.
From children to active seniors, all folks enjoy
a bit of Civil War history while experiencing the great outdoors on our West
Virginia whitewater rafting adventure! Call today to join River and Trail for
