River Conditions Summary

Friday August 15, 2025

River levels are perfect for all activities and there’s currently no forecast for that to change.

Current River Level:
1.46 Feet on the Front Royal Gauge and falling slowly.  River clear and absolutely gorgeous. 

Tubing:  We’re running our summer 1.8 mile stretch of river,  which is taking about 2 hours at this level. That said, guests are free to find places to hang out to extend their trip as long as they’re back by 5PM.

As always, if space is available on our hourly tube shuttle bus, all guests are free to jump on for a second run if they’d like!  Last trip goes out at 2PM.  Naturally, guests with reservations will get first seats on the bus.  Guests should not expect to have room on the bus on Saturdays, but generally the rest of the week there is availability on the 1 and 2PM shuttles for repeat trips.

Kayaking and Canoeing:  All trips being offered.  All trips available for all ages

Current Water Temperature:
79 Degrees Fahrenheit, which combined with afternoon warm temperatures is just about perfect tubing and paddling weather.  Refreshing temps.

Current Water Condition:
River has dropped to normal summer levels, is clear, and is a refreshing 80 degrees F.

Helpful Hint: as is often the case for early summer,  changing conditions are normal and we recommend checking back before you make a trip out to see us without a reservation.  If possible, get those reservations in!  Reservations help us prepare for you before you arrive, and also greatly speed up the check in process.
