SUMMARY:RiverPalooza: Good-Bye Summer Blowout
DESCRIPTION:(No Rain Date — Please note: event will only be canceled if river levels do not permit and is not based on forecasted rain.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet ready for an epic end-of-summer celebration with RiverPalooza’s Goodbye Summer Celebration!

Join us as we paddle through the confluence stretch of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers\, starting at Millville and hitting all the best whitewater in the Harpers Ferry area. Our talented guides from River Riders will ensure your safety and guide you through the Bull Falls\, Staircase\, Harpers Ferry National Historic Park\, and Mad Dog and White Horse Rapids – the best whitewater in the area. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd the coolest part?

Or\, if you’re a seasoned paddler or want to challenge yourself\, sign up for a River Rider ducky rental. These inflatable kayaks are incredibly forgiving and a blast to paddle\, and there will be lots of paddler friends and raft guides to provide encouragement and assistance along the way. \n\n\n\nThe paddle will end at Potoma Wayside\, just upstream of the Rt. 340 bridge\, where Piney Run spills into the Potomac and creates a gorgeous hidden waterfall. Take a quick invigorating rinse before climbing up the hill back to the buses that will shuttle you back to your car. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss out on this beautifully scenic paddle along the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail\, and join us for a day of fun and adventure on the water\, or make it a weekend!
