SUP

Shenandoah River SUP Rentals

The Ultimate Stand Up Paddleboarding Adventures Near D.C.

Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP) are quickly becoming a favorite choice of watercraft on the river. Shenandoah SUP rentals offer a unique experience as you stand up and balance on a stable platform over moving water. You can paddle the Shenandoah River at your own pace, speed it up for some exercise, or just lay down, get some sun and go with the flow.

Mixing a SUP in with other watercraft has become popular with families and groups as everyone can try their hand at SUP on the Shenandoah River. Fishing from a SUP is also becoming popular for the anglers ability to spot fish from the standing position. Just bring a cooler as your seat and enjoy a long day of searching for that trophy Bass. Come join us for SUP on the Shenandoah River and find out why Stand-Up Paddleboarding is becoming so popular.

Please check the paddling conditions before making your booking!
