white water rafting on the Shenandoah River in Harpers FerryThis white water rafting trip through the Needles of the Potomac River includes slow water solitude and white water 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 go through the rapids in the Needles. Take in the history and scenery of the Potomac River as you float past Harpers Ferry National Historic Park between the soaring cliffs of Maryland and Loudon Heights, where the Shenandoah River joins the mighty 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! (Class I-III)
