WELCOME SPRING PADDLERS!

Welcome to Spring paddling on the Shenandoah! We are running all trips in canoes, kayaks & rafts. Stand-up-paddleboards are running trip #1 & #2. The river level is in the upper part of the normal range, a great level for running any of our trips. Dress in layers and remember to take a change of clothes with you on your trip. Remember to bring plenty of drinking water, snacks, sunscreen, shoes that you can wear in the river, and a change of clothes. Also. remember to always wear your life vest!

Our online store is open, and we are shipping orders or making items available for in-store pickup.

NOTE: Be advised that river conditions can change rapidly with sudden storms or heavy rain in the upper watershed. Also, water temperature can vary as much as six degrees or more in a single day.
