Harpers Ferry Location
River Riders is only 1 ½ hours drive time from downtown Baltimore, MD or Washington DC in Harpers Ferry, WV on the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. Rafting, tubing, kayaking, biking, canoeing, fishing and team building are all closer than you think.
Your help is needed. Please carpool as much as possible. We have very limited parking, especially on weekends. Besides, it's good for the environment.
We pick up from Harpers Ferry locations including hotels, the KOA, and the Marc train!
