Harpers Ferry Canoeing
River and Trail Outfitters
provides quality canoes and the widest variety of rental trips in the area on
the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers as well as the Antietam Creek. For novice
boaters there are scenic mellow water trips. For more experienced boaters there
are a variety of whitewater runs in and around Harpers Ferry only one hour from
Washington DC on the Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia border. For those people
who have enjoyed the beauty and challenge of white water rafting, to canoe or
kayak affords a more personal experience with your boat, your companion, and
the river.
For your maximum enjoyment, we recommend that at least one
person in each boat has basic paddling and steering skills. You can expect some
riffles and rapids on all of our trips and rentals-rivers are not lakes and
moving water requires attentive paddling. Lessons providing basic instruction
are suggested for first timers and those looking to improve their canoeing and
kayaking skills. Certified guides are also available for those wanting a guided
tour.
"Thanks a bunch for teaching all us girl scouts
how to canoe. We all had lots of fun. We will always remember what you told us
for years to follow…I can't imagine any of us going home and not asking
for a boat of our own… you made our learning so much fun. We can't thank
you enough."
