White water Rafting on the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers

Harpers Ferry White water Rafting trips go through West Virginia, Maryland, & Virginia!

** For Saturday, September 28th and Sunday, September 29th, the minimum age for whitewater rafting is 10 years of age and up due to higher water levels. **

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. Guests will need to walk up a steep hill at the end of the trip. 

*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.

For those 12 yrs & older, looking for more of a challenge during lower levels, try our duckies or single inflatable kayaks.
