Challenging fun for beginner to intermediate level
This trip includes Class I-III (sometimes I-II+) rapids on this prime stretch of the historic Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. When your adventure is over, no need to walk up a steep hill at the public take out. Instead, ride our shuttle back to the top from our exclusive private take-out. We are the only outfitter in the region to provide a private take-out area.
