• Sit-On-Top Kayak Rentals: A fun, open-air experience! Sit on top kayaks are great for any adventurer looking to soak up the sun and enjoy the river’s cooling breeze. These kayaks fit a single rider. We love using these kayaks during the warm season, as the rider can expect to get a little wet. If staying dry is your priority, we suggest choosing a sit-in kayak.

They also feature a storage compartment to keep your items safe and away from the water. These kayaks sit one rider and are perfect if you’re looking to stay a bit dryer during your adventure.
• Canoe Rentals: Enjoy a leisurely cruise on the Shenandoah! These canoes seat up to 3 people, making them perfect for couples, families, and even furry friends! Enjoy ample space and a relaxed float down the river!
