Whitewater Tubing

The Most Exciting Tubing Adventure at Harpers Ferry!

Enjoy river tubing on the Potomac River where it meets the Shenandoah. You’ll get to experience the thrills of beginner class I-III rapids while taking in spectacular views along one of the most scenic river regions in the country!

For a relaxing and fun way to enjoy your trip even more, you can hop onto the large island-like rocks in the middle of the river and have your own picnic or do some sunbathing.

Don’t worry about walking up any of the hills once you’ve reached the end of your tubing trip. Once you’re out of the water, you’ll be taken on a short shuttle ride up the hill.

At the end of your trip, you can freshen up and wash off in our bathhouse equipped with sinks, toilets and hot showers.
