Our Story
In 1992 Dewey Heffner and his son, George “JR” Heffner, began selling black tire tubes out of the back of a truck under the name Butts Tubes.
Today, after acquiring a gorgeous riverside property, the Heffner family employs seasonal and full-time staff and offers two types of tubing, whitewater rafting, aerial adventures, camping, a brewery and more.
“We are committed to inspiring healthier communities by offering exciting outdoor adventures and experiences that bring people together.”
– Holly Heffner, Harpers Ferry Adventure Center Owner
Less than an hour from Washington DC and 75 minutes from Baltimore, Maryland, just downriver from quaint and historic downtown Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, between the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers…
Adventure is calling you.
Enjoy the views, breathe the fresh air and master the art of getting away from it all.
