Full description

Experience the excitement of whitewater tubing on the Potomac River in Harpers Ferry. This adventure is ideal for those seeking a bit more thrill, offering Class II-III rapids that guarantee an exhilarating ride. It's an unguided trip, so participants need to be confident swimmers and prepared for self-rescue situations. The journey not only provides an adrenaline rush but also passes through some of the most scenic river stretches in the country, including views of the historic Harpers Ferry National Park, Maryland Heights, and the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers.

To maintain the beauty of this natural setting, the experience adheres to a strict policy of only allowing soft, collapsible coolers or dry bags that can be attached to your tube, emphasizing the importance of a trash-free environment.
