harpers ferry White water kayaking in Inflatable Kayaks
Inflatable kayaks, also called Duckies, are a super fun way to paddle the Shenandoah & Potomac Rivers!
Rafting fun on an inflatable kayak near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
If you’ve ever taken our rafting trip before and are looking for a bigger challenge, try Class III whitewater on an inflatable kayak, also called a Ducky! These maneuverable craft allow for a more intense, personal experience with the river and afford the freedom of an open-top boat; if you fall off, you flip it over and hop back on. Participants must be reasonably physically fit and weigh between 90-250 lbs. And most importantly not be afraid to get wet!
