Description
Our white water tubing trip includes a journey through the historic town of Harpers Ferry. Participants will have the opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty of the Harpers Ferry water gap and the rock formations of Maryland and Loudon Heights while floating on a tube. The white water section on the Potomac River ranges from class I to III, depending on the water levels, and typically lasts 1-3 hours, with an average duration of about 2 hours.
White water tubing is a nature activity, not a water park. Water levels and the environment can change. You will paddle through obstacles like rocks, shallow areas, flat water, and rapids. This trip is challenging and recommended for those at least 10-12 years old, 5 feet tall, and in good physical condition seeking adventure.
River Riders is an experienced tubing company in Harpers Ferry. We have been ranked as the top outdoor activity on Trip Advisor for the past 10 years.
