White water Rafting on the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers
Harpers Ferry White water Rafting trips go through West Virginia, Maryland, & Virginia!
Go white water rafting in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia with River & Trail Outfitters. Located only 1 hour from Washington, DC & Baltimore in Knoxville, Maryland, just 3 miles east of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia and minutes from Virginia. Join us for whitewater rafting on the final stretches of the Shenandoah River as it tumbles into the Potomac, carving a spectacular 6.5- mile watercourse through the Blue Ridge Mountains. Enjoy a riverside snack of a granola bar, apple squeeze or fruit, and drink while relaxing with family and friends.
*During periods of low water, this trip takes place on the Potomac River (2 hrs), passing by Harpers Ferry. Rapids include a long series of Class II rapids through the Needles of the Potomac culminating in the wavy fun of Class III White Horse! “Funneling” or swimming through the rapids is included as weather permits. Call us for updates.
Starting September 12th, Route 340 will be closed between the bridges at Harpers Ferry. For our guests convenience, rafters will check in at our Knoxville, MD location. Our shuttle to the put-in will be approximately 30 minutes.
For those 12 yrs & older, looking for more of a thrilling experience during lower levels, try our single inflatable kayaks when booking, or try a shorter section for whitewater tubing.
