    I went with river riders for a friends birthday float. We did flat tube floating. There were tons of different options for the type of river day you wanted to have. This float was easy, well marked, busses were easy to navigate, and everyone had a good time. I highly recommend this for a fun tubing afternoon. I will definitely use them next time I want to go tubing.

    My son and I checked out the brand new water park. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I was surprised to see how large it felt. Check in was smooth. The staff was very friendly. Since this is the first summer it's been open, there's a couple connecting points that feel a little disjointed but not enough to discourage us from wanting to come back. I originally thought that 90 mins would feel like such little time but when you're on the obstacles or in the water, it feels like you're there longer. I do suggest for anyone not a minor to stretch before hand. You're slipping and sliding all over the place I'm sure I'm going to need an adjustment with a chiropractor. But well worth it.

    Finally had a chance to try tubing on the river. We went on a gloomy/rainy weekend. The ride from Silver Spring was a little over an hour. Our group chose the longest route. Not sure how long it should take because some of our group did not have paddles. Honestly, it was a fun experience. Don't forget your snacks and Bluetooth speaker. The views along the route are beautiful and very peaceful. I selected the basic tube without an a paddle. **High recommend getting the red tube that includes the paddle . Otherwise, you will find yourself stuck floating on the river or tired from using your hands to paddle . They also offer a rain jacket and pants available for rent. I used the rain jacket due to the rain and cooler weather. It helps to keep me warm and dry. Overall, I really enjoyed the visit. The staff was very accommodating. They have a separate locker room to change . A restaurant is available onsite on the top floor of the building. I highly recommend a visit. Can't wait to return in the winter to try snow tubing.

    We stayed on the campsite. Initially we had a site in the overflow lot, but staff reached out to us prior to check-in to let us know other spots had become available and they would upgrade us free of charge. Staff was friendly and helpful in person and over the phone, the campsite was in good condition, and the view from our site was perfect. Will be staying at the site again, highly recommend.

    I had a great time! I did the low water tubing. Non swimmers, it's safe and you can stand in the water! It's a learning curb in the beginning as far as learning to control your tube however ppl are so nice, they don't mind you bumping them a bit! There are alot of ppl in the river however its a big river! My pics only reflect the end of the tubing adventure, where we got out. I was afraid to take pics in the water for fear that I would drop my phone. You can tie other tubes to yours if you want for a larger party or friends, or couples so that you don't drift away from each other. It's takes about 45-50 mins depending on the waters current. You can bring food, drinks. Some tie their tunes to tree to hang out a bit. You can make it a short trip or make a day of it! The staff is so helpful! The company that we used had a bus to take us 3 mins down the rode to where our adventure began. The waits aren't long. We went down the river twice. I was tied to my guy. Prices are reasonable , parking can be tricky, some areas are reserved. Its best to make reservations. We are definitely going again.

    Before I go in on this review here's something you should know about me. The only kind of waters I enjoy are Steamy hot shower water, Ice cold drinking water, and occasionally pool water. I'm not big on bugs, extended period in the sun, or open bodies of water. Truth be told when we took the bus down to the start of the river ride, I wqas like 2 seconds from backing out and going back up to the bar, but... I had a really good time. I got the Tube Tracker instead of the regular tube, so that kept my butt out of the water and my body about 65% dry, until I feel getting out at the end. I went in a large group, and i'll admit that there was some anxiety at play, but after the first 10 minutes you don't even mind the dragonflies mating on your arms and legs and you come to grips with the high unlikeliness that a crocodile, alligator, or pack of river otters may be lurking. We took a ton of pictures and I played music for the 2 hour ride. My kids got to splash around and have a great time and I got to be there to share the memory, it was great. I know that I kind of just jumped right in to being at the river, but we had no issues with booking or customer service. Everything ran really smooth. The ride was surprisingly more "Big Guy Friendly" than I thought it would be. I maybe felt my tube touch bottom twice, but I was never stuck. I was paddling circles around my family and friends, and the paddle gave me a fighting chance with an "river opps" that might try to slide.

    Did a canopy tour with my friends and we had a blast! The two staff members were great and very informative. The trail includes ziplines, ladders, and bridges. Highly recommend! Great views! Affordable prices!

    An amazing experience on the water. I recently tried the whitewater tubing adventure with River Riders and chose the larger individual tube with a bottom. They give you colored wristbands depending on what type of experience you pay for between group, individual tube or sit inside tubes (like the one I took). The trip lasted about 2.5 hours and was both scary and exciting -- a real mix of adrenaline and fun. You are given a safety briefing and your life jacket before boarding the bus. The bus takes you to the drop in point where our tube and paddles were provided and then you are on your way. It's definitely not just a float; the rapids require upper body strength and endurance, so be prepared for a workout. A few suggestions: bring only gear that can get wet, apply plenty of sunscreen, stay hydrated and bring a clear bag for your phone (if you want pictures or music). The ride itself is enjoyable, but the exit point could use improvement. Staff told us to look for a waterfall before the green bridge, but the waterfall isn't visible from the water, and there's no clear signage marking the takeout area. That added some stress to the finish of an otherwise great experience. Once you arrive there you have to hike your equipment up the trail to the place where the bus pickles you up. Overall, I'd recommend this for adventurous types who are ready for both fun and challenge.

    KUDOS FOR KYLE!!! Kyle was our raft guide today and I can't say we would've wanted anyone else. At least we felt super privileged as he did excellent in leading us perfectly into the good spots and helped us have a great (safe) time!! (All while taking care of the rest of the group for safety.) He was efficient, knowledgeable and a great leader. So much fun! Thanks Kyle, you're da best! - The Fairchilds from DC

    What an awesome experience zip lining with Gibson and Alex. Both of them exhibited professionalism and were a pleasure to zip with. It was an experience my family will always remember. We continued the following day with a riverboat run with CC. She was a book of knowledge regarding the river and local Lore. Very professional and a joy to have as a guide.It was an incredible day on the water. Can't wait to go back.

    This snow tubing place is enjoyable! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it became pretty busy toward the end of my visit. I was there from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m., and by 11:00 a.m., it got so crowded that we only managed to go down the hill two more times in the last 30 minutes. I believe that if there were breaks between the time slots, we would have been able to enjoy it more. Overall, it is a fantastic way to spend your winter day!

    Can I tube this while pregnant?

    Hi, it's best to check with your doctor. Flatwater tubing is pretty mild. Whitewater tubing is pretty adventurous. Depends how far along you are as well. Thanks

There were a lot of places you can explore and enjoy a national historical park. This was stated from back in the civil war, and you can go into many of the buildings that had information on what occurred along with machinery from that time. There were many information signs around you can read while walking around. Along with this, there were really nice views and trails that you can take, including the Appalachian Trail, which I really loved. They also have nice restaurants and snack areas you can sit and enjoy. It can be pricy but worth it as the places I tried were good. I didn't get a chance to explore everything here, but I absolutely plan to come back to finish the trails and explore more. It's definitely a must do if you come to West Virginia!

Your…read moreguide is an endless resource of knowledge about the area, and you will leave with stronger quads and more brain cells. My mom arranged for us to go on this tour, after having read positive reviews on another website. We didn't really know what we had in store for us, but she stumbled onto a local treasure. Once you park and (probably) hike your way toward the rendezvous point, you'll head inside a church lounge where you can sit comfortably and get some background information. Your guide will be dressed in historical garb, and he may even break out into song at various points, between deep-dive presentation of historical narrative. Okay, so costume and singing aren't usually my scene (and in fact, they sometimes make me cringe), but this expert is so totally in earnest that it was actually refreshing. How can you not respect someone with this level of knowledge and commitment? You really feel like you're seeing the area through a historical lens. Every sight you see is informed by the guide, which adds rich layers of context. I admit that I kind of felt weirdly sorry for the other area tourists who were roaming the place uninformed. Some of the rocks, rubble, ruins, trails, and geography you see played a role in American history that you might not recognize, and this awareness made so many of the local sights more enjoyable. You do plenty of walking. Bring water, and wear comfortable shoes and clothing. You will also have breaks from the walking to reconvene. The tour was such an experience that we actually had ice cream with the other tour group members afterward to rehash and decompress. The guide does a haunted tour that I haven't tried, but which he describes as more lighthearted. I'd totally go back for that, and I'd bring any history nerd who visits the area to the O Be JoyFull tour in a heartbeat. Not the right setting for someone who wants a more consumer-based or superficial visit to Harper's Ferry, though. They can wait for you at the ice cream parlor!

Also, if you cross the railway bridge you can view the old canal.
