Rafting
The Shenandoah River provides great flat water rafting.
The trip does go through Compton’s Rapid for a little wave action. Rafting is a little faster than tubing but 1/3 slower than canoeing. The water levels and trip length determine the time on the river. Our rafting trips are unguided, great beginner trips.
Two Rafting Trips
The rafting rate is $90 for 2 to 3; $115 for 4; $140 for 5 and $165 for 6 in a raft.

MORE INFO
We do not put people together so just bring all of your family & friends for a fun day on the Shenandoah River. Plan to bring a cooler for lunch and maybe your fishing pole, too. You can call in to reserve or go online.
Rafting is great for families with small children. Rafts do not turn over like canoes or kayaks can! Some folks rent a raft with tubes when they have small children so the trip goes faster for the small ones. We allow children as young as 3 years old in a raft but no younger than 5 year old in tubes.
We do not allow dogs in rafts due to puncture possibilities. You can take dogs in canoes and if small, in kayaks.
Reserve online or give us a call. You can add Steak Dinners with rafting too as part of a group or add onto a group–usually on Saturdays!
