There’s no better way to experience the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley than from the water—and Shenandoah River Outfitters has been helping families do just that since 1970.
Located near Luray Caverns, Shenandoah River Outfitters has grown into the largest and most experienced river recreation operations of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic. Their South Fork location offers one of the most scenic sections of the river, bordering George Washington National Forest just minutes from Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive.
Fun for All Experience Levels
From first-time paddlers to seasoned adventurers, there’s a stretch of river for everyone. Expect mostly calm waters with gentle ripples and the occasional splash of excitement—including a larger rapid for those looking to kick things up a notch.
Choose your adventure with canoe, kayak, raft, or tube rentals—all fully equipped with life jackets, paddles, maps, safety guidance, and convenient shuttle service. Whether you’re floating peacefully, casting a line, or simply basking in the sun, it’s the kind of experience that feels timeless.
Stay Longer, Discover More
Want to make it more than a day trip? Stay awhile. Shenandoah River Outfitters offers nine cozy log cabins available year-round. Camp Outback (their riverside tent campground) offers hot showers, picnic tables, and fire rings.
