Rafting

In order to participate in Kayaking you will need to book an appointment, as this adventure is guided for safety. River Riders advises that spring trips will be a little more thrilling and difficult due to deeper/faster moving water. Therefore, if it’s your first time rafting you might want to wait until the summer months. During this time the water will tend to be lower making it an easier yet still fun filled rafting adventure. The rafting trip is around 5-7 miles and will take approximately 2-3 hours to complete.

Tubing

River Riders offers the opportunity for you to either flat water tube or white water tube. The type of tubing will depend on your group and interests. If you have a group with children, you may want to participate in the flat water tubing. This will ensure that the children are safe while being able to enjoy the water. Although this trip will not be guided, you will still need to make an appointment to attend. The appointment will ensure that you have a tube available for the trip down the river. This trip will take around 1.5 -3 hours depending the type of tubing, water levels, and your pace.

Kayaking

Your white water kayaking trip will also be a guided trip, as this is a little more difficult. This trip will be around 5-7 miles long as well. Like rafting, this trip will take around 2-3 hours to complete and the same tips apply for the spring and summer trips. River Riders has advised that if you want a little more challenge on the kayaking trip, you can use an inflatable kayak!

Ziplining &  E-Biking

If you’re not a fan of the water activities but still want to participate in some good outdoor fun, give ziplining a whirl…or zip! Your zipline tour will be 2-3 hours of of beautiful views and wonderful excitement as you glide through the canopy of Harpers Ferry’s greenery.

Have you ever heard of E-Biking? You’ll love it. E-Biking allows you to petal like normal biking, but when you need a break it’ll give you a boost via electric.
