RAFT TRIPS ARE NOT GUIDED. Rafts are our most stable watercraft making them ideal for inexperienced paddlers and\/or families with smaller children (minimum age 5 years). Rafts also offer a larger platform and more \u201celbow room\u201d, a real opportunity to relax and chill out. However, rafts are significantly slower than canoes or kayaks and so trips take longer, especially if the river level is low. Figure only a little over one mile per hour unless the river level is up. All our raft rentals for the Shenandoah River are commercial outfitter grade watercraft, and are self baling with inflatable floors (which means wet feet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAFTING TIPS
<\/strong>Rafts function best on this river at higher water levels, they are a bit clumsy in low water (canoes and kayaks do better in low water). Rafts provide a very stable platform, so they\u2019re ideal for families with minimal river running experience and also families with small children (our minimum age is 5 years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This float is simply the previous two trips combined, making a longer float but with no timed pick up. Most of this section is permanently protected from development and remains truly wild and scenic. A great day float for a raft if you have the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
