River Riders is ready to guide your family on your next outdoor adventure! Located along the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, River Riders has been a Licensed Professional White Water Guide Service since the ’70s.
Some of the popular opportunities they offer families include:
White Water Rafting
This heart-pounding experience is perfect for both novice and intermediate paddlers. Guests are guided on a 5- to 7-mile excursion through the beautiful scenery of Harpers Ferry. An ideal family-friendly experience, paddlers will enjoy class I-III rapids.
Tubing
Relax as you float leisurely down the Shenandoah or Potomac Rivers this summer, or enjoy a more exhilarating adventure on the whitewater rapids of Harpers Ferry! River Riders has it all, with the experience, comfort, and value families know and trust.
Flat Water Tubing
The most relaxing float experience is flat water tubing, which is ideal for families and children (30+ pounds) on a hot summer day. Enjoy a full day of tubing with River Riders, which offers the longest flatwater tubing trip in the area! Never has being lazy been so much fun!
White Water Tubing
Put a little pep in your step (or tube, rather) with white water tubing! As River Riders’ most adventurous tubing activity, this experience is perfect for thrill-seekers ready to take on the river’s rapids. Please note that this unguided trip has stricter safety requirements: participants must be 10-12 years old, roughly 5 feet tall to effectively steer/paddle, and proficient swimmers.
Harpers Ferry Waterpark (Giant Inflatable Waterpark)
This massive addition is a dream come true for families! River Riders built a giant floating inflatable waterpark inside a scenic, crystal-clear natural quarry. Kids aged 5 and up (and 45″+ tall) can tackle commercial-grade inflatable obstacle courses, slides, climbing towers, trampolines, and ninja-style challenges, while a private beach area offers parents the perfect spot to relax and watch the fun.
If you’re looking for more excitement out of the water, be sure to take advantage of River Riders’ zip-lining canopy tour or aerial adventure park. Cast a line for a great fishing experience on the Shenandoah or Potomac Rivers, or hop on a mountain bike for a scenic self-guided excursion!
River Riders recommends arriving an hour early for your departure. This gives you ample time to park (VIP parking is an additional fee), sign your waivers, and check in.
Forget something? The on-site store has snacks, water shoes, waterproof phone cases, and memorabilia to ensure a smooth adventure.
