UPDATE(March2022): Due to my 15 passenger van being crushed by a tree over the winter, I can no longer shuttle people upriver to Kelly’s Ford. I can shuttle the boats and gear, but you will need to provide your own transportation to Kelly’s Ford. I can still transport people to the shorter “Eagle’s Next” location.
All trips are self guided, you will not have a guide with you. The trips are beginner friendly, but it is highly recommended that you have someone with canoe/kayak experience with you. You’re out in the wilderness with dangers and risks. It’s not a Disney ride :) Bring snacks, plenty of water, and a dry bag. If you miss the meetup time, your boat rental fees will not be refunded. If trips are cancelled due to low/high water levels or lightening, your boat rental fees will be fully refunded. Click the button above to check water levels. Below 3 feet on the gage height is too low for paddling. Above 5 feet is too high for paddling.
We currently only offer the canoe/kayak river trip from Kelly’s Ford - Rappahannock River Campground, and the canoe/kayak/tube trips from Eagle’s Nest(private launch 3.5 miles upriver) - Rappahannock River Campground. If the campground is open and the water level is good, these trips are offered, year round. If you’re interested in other trips in the area along the Rappahannock or Rapidan Rivers, please reach out to Twin Junction Outfitters(01May-26Sep) at https://www.twinjunctionoutfitters.com/.
