River and Trail Outfitters 

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

River and Trail Outfitters provides quality kayaks & canoes and the widest variety of rental trips in the area on the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers as well as Antietam Creek. For novice boaters there are scenic mellow water trips. For more experienced boaters there are a variety of whitewater runs in and around Harpers Ferry only one hour from Washington DC on the Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia border. For those people who have enjoyed the beauty and challenge of whitewater rafting, canoe or kayak affords a more personal experience with your boat, your companion, and the river.
