Information about our trip

The Shenandoah, whose American Indian translation is "daughter of thestars," provides an excellent venue for an historical white water rafting trip. Travel on two rivers through three states (Maryland, West Virginia,and Virginia) on an unforgettable 2 to 4.5 hour guided tour. Raftersfloat by the historic town of Harpers Ferry while hearing stories from ourguides about events that led to the Civil War. A tasty riverside picnic is included on this introductory whitewater adventure.

Join River & Trail Outfitters on the final stretches of the ShenandoahRiver as it tumbles into the Potomac River, carving a spectacular 6.5-mile watercourse through the Blue Ridge Mountains. During periods of low water the trip is exclusively on the Potomac, coursing through a majestic watergap with a view Thomas Jefferson wrote was worth a voyage across the Atlantic. Both trips offer Class I-III whitewater made up of some mellow water, permitting splashing and floating, multiple riffles and ledges, and a variety of challenging rapids such as "Bull Falls" and "White Horse."

Our experienced guides lead your trip showing you the best routes through the rapids while entertaining you with river lore. Weather permitting, ourtrips take a break to allow you to soak up some sun and enjoy a picnic right on the river!The picnic includes, chicken wings, potato salad, humus wrap with a fewveggies (vegetarian option), watermelon and a fruit juice.
