biking in the C&O Canal National Park- Harpers FerryEnjoy the C & O Canal, and the rapids of the Shenandoah River. One of your days will start off with a 12 to 24 mile 1/2 day biking tour of the C & O Canal. The scenic half day trip follows the Potomac River between the two historic towns of Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry, WV. All of our bikes are manufactured by Specialized Bicycle Components and are the best available for rent in the area. The trip includes all gear and shuttle transportation to and from the canal.

bike trips in harpers ferryOn the other day, you will experience the exciting whitewater trip down the rapids of the Shenandoah River in a guided raft. Our most popular adventure and a guest favorite through the years, this whitewater rafting trip down the last reaches of the Shenandoah River includes slow water solitude and whitewater action. In slow water watch for ospreys, great blue herons, and bald eagles; enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge; and talk with your raftmates. But be ready for thrills and spills as you charge over “Bull Falls” and whoosh through “Bull’s Tail”, before heading through the Shenandoah’s mile-long “Staircase” rapid. Take in the history and scenery of the Shenandoah River as you float past Harpers Ferry National Historic Park between the soaring cliffs of Maryland and Loudon Heights, where you join the mighty Potomac. On the Potomac watch out for the snarl of the “Mad Dog” and hold onto your boots as you ride the wild “White Horse.” This beautiful and exciting trip is for everyone: beginners to seasoned guests! (Class I-III)

The trips can also be combined into one day.

All trips include necessary transportation and equipment.

Great time, great place - thanks!!!!
