Let our guides row you and your family/friends down the famous Shenandoah River for almost five miles through mountain scenery and farmland though riffles, pools and ledge-drops. This section of river is bordered by farms and forest on the left, a few cabins and the Blue Ridge Mountain on the right and makes a perfect place to spend a relaxing half day on the river sightseeing, swimming or exploring. 2-3 hour trip at low summer flow.
Guests can expect to see the large hunting birds in action, as well as riparian bird species and the occasional large mammal like deer, bear and beaver. Don’t forget to ask us about the rich history of human inhabitation and commerce along this stretch of river.

Our meeting location for these trips is riverside, at Farm Riverview Public Boat ramp in Warren County Virginia. We meet there, load your gear in our van, leave your car locked up, get in our shuttle van, and the guide and driver take everyone upriver with the boat to the launch point at historic Morgan’s Ford. When we reach the launch point everyone gets into the boat and the guide rows the group down about five miles of river, back to the meeting location at Farms Riverview Boat Ramp. At the end of the river trip, lots of hugs and goodbyes, and then guests are free to leave right away while the guide cleans and loads the boat.
