The Cheat Narrows
Rowlesburg, WV
This five to seven mile trip offers the perfect introduction to rafting. Depending on the water level, we run it using rafts or ducks. Spring generally brings higher water and therefore rafts are used. Ducks are the craft of choice during the summer. However, regardless of the craft, the thrill and pleasure will be the same. Trip format: Depending on water level the day of the trip, guide assisted in self-bailing rafts, ducks or ThrillKats™.

The Potomac
North of Elk Garden, WV (Barnum Whitewater Area)

The North Branch is considered to be the most beautiful section of the Potomac with its banks of rhododendron and canopy of ancient hardwoods. Its a most satisfying way to enjoy nature and escape the heat and demands of city life. A reliable minimum flow throughout summer is released into this trout stream by the Jennings Randolph Dam on scheduled days.

-- HALF DAY TRIP --
This delightful four-mile stretch of gentle rapids and cool, refreshing water makes a perfect half-day excursion. Scenic and relaxing- a great escape from the summer heat. NOTE: You must reserve this trip in advance, there are no accommodations for "walk-ons" at the meeting area.

Trip Format: Guide-assisted. You should expect to paddle a ThrillKat ™ or duck though rafts may be used occasionally at high water.
