Our 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!
