About River and
Trail Outfitters
Knoxville, Maryland
River and Trail Outfitters of Knoxville, Maryland was
founded in 1972 by Lee & Eunsook Baihly, natives of Minnesota and Korea.
Lee with his Eagle Scout's experience used his knowledge and love for the
outdoors to build a high-quality professional outfitter focusing on safety and
excellent customer service. We are licensed by the Department of Natural
Resources and are members of America Outdoors and Virginia Professional

offering a wide variety of quality outdoor trips in and outside the Tri-State

What we care about…
Safety First. We
seek above all to provide a positive adventure for our customers. Screening of
customers and conditions, proper equipment, and a well-trained staff are
paramount to this goal. Add thirty years of experience to this recipe and feel
confident about your choice of outfitter.
Customer service. We
seek to go the extra mile and want to make sure that the trip you choose is
best for you or your groups' needs. We understand that this is your valuable
fun-time and offer opportunities to picnic on the river, swim, and kick back
and enjoy your trip.
Employees…
let us entertain you. We can't brag enough about our staff. From
valedictorians to moms to professional river hippies…we have them all. The
common thread is they are all capable, personable, and enjoy what they do. All
are trained in river safety and boat handling skills and are glad to share
their knowledge of natural and local history. In addition they receive guide
certification from the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources. All are
certified in Basic First Aid and CPR and many have additional certifications in
Lifesaving, EMT, Swiftwater Rescue or Wilderness First Aid.
Environment & Health. We seek to protect the rivers & trails
that sustain us by educating ourselves and others about environmental concerns
as well as sponsoring river clean ups, recycling, supporting organizations
concerned about local waterways and trails, and picking up trash. To promote a
healthy lifestyle especially among our kid customers, our staff are
smoke-free.
Community. We seek to
provide families, schools, religious organizations, at-risk youth,
twentysomethings, and in-general overworked & overstressed adults with
valuable time away from the "real world."
