Half Day Shenandoah River Kayaking Trips
Kayak Through the South Fork of the Shenandoah River
Whether you want to drift, paddle, fish or swim, the hourly kayak trip options are a great way to experience the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Our hourly kayak trips are popular with those that want to spend extra time on the water, relax, paddle a little more and still have time left in your day to visit the mountains. Our Shenandoah River kayak rentals give you the flexibility to turn your river experience into whatever you and your family want it to be.
As with all our trips it’s not the amount of time you take to complete your trip, it’s the mileage. Customers are allowed to complete their trip at their leisure within our hours of operation.
Please visit the River Conditions page for trip guidance
