Whitewater
Rafting the North Branch
Potomac River Dam
Release...Guaranteed Excitement!
A step up from the Shenandoah / Potomac
River raft trip is the Potomac's North Branch guided tour. Spring and Fall
releases from Jennings Randolph Dam near Keyser, West Virginia and Bloomington,
Maryland provide for optimum levels of whitewater rafting.
 This trip, only three hours from the Washington DC area,
is nestled in the heart of the Potomac Highlands, making for a fantastic day,
overnight, or weekend getaway. Rapids are continuous Class II-III+ , and the
high water volumes and steeper gradient of the North Branch create waves and
rollers up to six feet high. Sections of calm water permit cliff-jumping,
relaxation, and swimming. Experienced guides navigate each raft along the
scenic seven mile raft trip from Barnum to Bloomington. Our all-inclusive
rafting adventure features a tasty barbeque cookout overlooking the oh-so- blue
Jennings Randolph Lake, guide in each raft, shuttle, equipment, and wetsuit if
needed. Our guides live for this incredible white water rafting
journey…Join them!
For those who want to make a getaway or mini
vacation of the trip…Mineral County and the surrounding Potomac Highlands
provide many outdoor and indoor activities that would interest visitors of all
ages.
"Wanted to thank you for our North Branch
trip...Greg was an excellent guide, the Potomac was awesome and the post-river
cookout was first rate to say the least. Your staff is a great group of people
that made this an incredible experience..."
