Trip Information

Basic Guide Services

Guides are only offered for paddle instruction and assistance. Must be arranged in advance. There will be a $60 charge for the guide.

Your trip begins by calling our toll free number and setting up your boat launch time. All trips are by appointment only. Same day appointments are available on some dates. It is best to reserve in advance.

We do not have time restrictions on your trip, however we do ask that all participants be out of the water by 5:00 P.M. (Unless a later time has been scheduled in advance.) We generally stop launching boats around 1:00 P.M.

Be sure to bring sunscreen, cell phones, drinks and snacks, proper foot wear (no flip flops or heel less shoes), fishing gear (if fishing), spare dry clothes and towels. Please leave your valuables at home.

We will cater special trips with 5 or more boat rentals and we will haul your kayak or canoe on our trips. 

Longer day trips will require a $120 minimum per party. We cannot run a single boat on these trips for less than our minimum.

Tube Trips-Shenandoah

This is our lazy, leisure, scenic float. This float starts on our property. We have 2 different launch points on the property. Launch Point 1 sends you around an island, right next to the power dam.

You can experience a fun class 2 white water right off of the start. After that it is all lazy and leisure. The great part about this float is, you can choose to go through the white water or avoid it all together.

Launch Point 2 is at the lower end of our property. This launch point avoids the white water all together and you can meet your more adventuress party members at the end of the island and continue on together.  This trip takes about an hour and 20 min. We let you go down twice for $17.00. Floating coolers available.

Please note: We do not run this trip in high river conditions.

Port Tubing Trip

This trip is located 10 miles north of our property. We shuttle you to the put in and shuttle you back from the take out. This is a great trip for those looking for more white water. This trip takes about 2.5 to 3.5 hours to float. This trip costs $20 per tube and requires that at least 8 people be signed up, before we run this trip. You will probably want a floating cooler on this float.

Our Beginner / Fishing Without A Lot Of Paddling Trip This trip is offered for those who may want to try canoeing or kayaking without having to spend hours doing something you are not comfortable with. This trip is also great for those that want to take your children fishing: more so than canoeing. The pick up spot offers approximately .5 mile of calm water you can navigate north and south relatively easy in. This trip is very calm and the fishing is great. As with all our trips, you can take as long as you want. We do ask that all participants be out of the water by 5:00 P.M.
