Testimonials

Everyone and everything was polite, easy, respectful and reasonable. We had a multi day canoe trip scheduled a couple months in advance. Come our dates the river was impossibly low. I was able to get advice on river conditions the week of and again day 1 as the conditions changed, make edits to our trip because DRCC goal was for us to have a good time on the water. They were available by phone, email and in a pinch text. The drivers were on time and friendly and patient on an incredibly busy day with what seems like hundreds of people at the water. Camp sites were clean, gear was good and map was excellent.

We always love our trips down the Shenandoah with Downriver! They are super friendly, knowledgeable, and take good care of their customers. Their trips are super fun, equipment is well maintained, and location can’t be beat! Highly recommend!

We walked in and rented bikes for the whole family and were fitted and geared up with helmets maps suggested routes and water. The e bikes and hard tails were top of the line and perfect to enjoy the trails. We got to see tubers snd canoes on the river. Vies from the overlook were impressive. All in all a great outfit and a memorable day. We would love to return and explore more of the trails. It was a great value, great service and a lot of fun!

My wife and I had such a wonderful experience at Downriver Canoe Company. The staff was so genuine, professional, and relaxed. It was a great day trip and the Shenandoah River was beautiful. I hope the river remains so well taken care of and protected.

Brought a big group of Boy Scouts down for an overnight paddle, what a great outfitter! They understood the complexity of getting a group like that down the river and helped at every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Experience instant and undeniable peace. From the moment we started to the instant you finish it is an awesome experience. They are dog friendly and have some great staff. You are literally in control of your canoe trip. Highly recommend this to all walks of life. The end point takes a little skill to get off but nothing too bad to handle. Again, we will be returning or recommending.
