White water Rafting on the North Branch of the Potomac River
The North Branch of the Potomac River is an exciting rafting trip in the beautiful wilderness of western Maryland.
Potomac River rafting on the thrilling North Branch- limited Dam Releases!
A step up from the Shenandoah / Potomac River raft trip are the rolling waves of the Potomac’s North Branch! Dam releases from Jennings Randolph Lake provide optimum levels for whitewater rafting in a pristine wilderness setting. Ride rapids such as Top of the World and Bear Falls. Excellent camping is just around the corner.
What a THRILLING way to experience the Summer Season!!!
Great Getaway to Western Maryland
This trip, only three hours from the Washington DC area, is nestled in the heart of the Potomac Highlands, making for a fantastic day, overnight, or weekend getaway. Rapids are continuous Class II-III+ , and the high water volumes and steeper gradient of the North Branch create waves and rollers up to four feet high. Sections of calm water permit cliff-jumping, relaxation, and swimming. Experienced guides navigate each raft along the scenic seven mile raft trip from Barnum to Bloomington.
