Whitewater Tubing Shuttle
Have your own tube? Park at our outfitter and catch one of our shuttles to an exciting tubing adventure on the Potomac River. You will float down the Potomac River past Old Town Harpers Ferry, WV through the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers experiencing the thrills of small class I and II rapids. You can float straight through the trip or stop off on the large island-like rocks in the middle of the river for a picnic or some sunbathing. Don’t worry about walking up any big hills or long shuttle rides at the end your activity. You will float directly back to the outfitter where you will take a short shuttle ride up the hill in one of our 5-Ton military vehicles (an adventure all in its own). You’re then welcomed to go to the staging area for the next shuttle and experience the adventure again (time permitting). PFD rental is included with every shuttle pass.
