  • October means fall foliage.
    October is a great month for outdoor activities is Harpers Ferry. Trips are smaller. Fall colors begin to show early in the month and are in full array by the end. Biking and Canoeing trips are especially popular this month because of more comfortable (avg 67 degree) temperatures.
    A half day canoe / half day bike combination trip is just $60 per person. October is also a good time of year to take the challenge of riding all 185 miles of the C&O Canal. The trip breaks up well into 3 days with stopping points for lodging near Berkeley Springs, WV, Hancock, MD and Harpers Ferry, WV. If you're into camping, the trip can work in more or less days as well, as there are camp spots all along the Canal.
