style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<p><strong>River trips are not guided.<\/strong> Once you arrive, we will review your river trip with you, and provide basic paddling instructions for novice paddlers. The majority of our river trips start up river and float back to our base, so take your time and finish at your leisure. Trips leave about every 30 minutes to an hour.  Just select your desired time when booking. If you arrive by 2 pm during the week and 3 pm on weekends, then you should still have time to enjoy one of our shorter floats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At your set departure time, you will be transported to the launch site of your trip and cast forth upon the waters. <strong>Please note: the time indicated for each river trip is the approximate time at a steady but leisurely pace under normal river conditions.<\/strong> If you are fishing, just floating, or the river is low then trips will of course take longer. We find it\u2019s better to go a little too short than a little too far, so try not to be overly ambitious when selecting the length of your float.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canoes and kayaks are almost twice as fast as rafts, and rafts are swifter than tubes. Consequently, suggested raft routes are shorter. Also, the tube float is normally fixed at 3 miles taking about 3 hours. Last departure for tubing on weekends is 3:00 pm.  M-F last tube departure is at 2:00pm.  All floats finish back at our base unless otherwise indicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MINIMUM AGE 5 YEARS, NO EXCEPTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/river-trips\/river-maps\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DownriverMap-SouthForkMile1-28_Page_2-1-622x1024.jpg\" alt=\"small map of south fork mile 1-28 luray to bentonville Downriver Canoe Company Shenandoah Valley River\" class=\"wp-image-1196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DownriverMap-SouthForkMile1-28_Page_2-1-622x1024.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DownriverMap-SouthForkMile1-28_Page_2-1-182x300.jpg 182w, https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DownriverMap-SouthForkMile1-28_Page_2-1-768x1265.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DownriverMap-SouthForkMile1-28_Page_2-1-932x1536.jpg 932w, https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DownriverMap-SouthForkMile1-28_Page_2-1.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.downriver.com\/river-trips\/river-maps\/\" style=\"background-color:#285f39\">River Maps &amp; More Info<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adventures on the Shenandoah River River trips are not guided.
