I did this there several years ago with some of my nieces and nephews, we had a blast and it was not scary or dangerous at all. Though my tube did pop on the first little bit of rocks we hit, but mainly just my ego was bruised. And of course we did have the cooler and some beers.
You will all have a blast! Wish I could join but the next 5 or 6 weeks are just a bit crazy for me.

we had just started, so my niece and i walked back and got me a new one. and yes, we were with Butts Tubes. my nephew, who passed away a couple years later, went to college in shepherdstown, and i believe it was his recommendation to go with them.

Just in case anyone missed it, River Riders does not allow alcohol. I don't remember on which page, but I saw somewhere on their site that it's due partially to their liability and partially to the proximity to Harper's Ferry National Park. Originally Posted by Possegal

I think they have to say that. But if we use those little styrofoam things around the cans, no one will be the wiser. Originally Posted by Kalidurga

I find it amusing that their site describes this as "the trip of choice for the 18-30 year old crowd"
