We really enjoyed this fun experience. The quarry is super clean and it was an organized experience. We visited on a 3 hr time slot day which I highly recommend. I don’t think the kids would have been done after 90 min. My only caveat is I wish there had been more shade options for spectators. There was very little shade in general and most of it was taken immediately, or held by people’s stuff who weren’t even sitting there. Other than that highly recommend and we plan on making it an annual visit!

My 6 year old loved this water park so much that he specifically asked that I leave a review later when he saw the sign for it as we were leaving. So here I am, letting you know we had a really great time! My son is closer to the minimum height so I did have to help him up in certain spots but besides that, he's a good swimmer, comfortable in the water, and we both loved exploring and doing everything in the whole park.

Parking was relatively easy (lucked out with a close spot), the safety video was a bit hard to hear over the chatter, and the boys handing out PFDs were wonderful helping us put the right size on my son. I loved that there were changing rooms available on site. There was also the nicer portable toilets per gender available too.

TL;DR June 17th warm water
*Wear a long sleeve swim shirt
*Pay for the best tube with paddles
*Go with the dry bag
*Stop and reapply sunscreen on the shore after your first set of rapids

We had a great time, but the whitewater tubing requires a LOT of arm paddling. We got the blue tubes with cup holders and backrest, but several in our party had abrasions on their arms from the seams ofnthe tubes rubbing while paddling. Wish we would have paid the extra $5 ($10 more than the base tube) for the ones with paddles. Would have saved our energy and our skin.

The length of time was perfect. We were all ready to be done. From departure to return was right at 2.5 hours. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice being unattended while tubing. We brought our own dry bag and it was helpful to carry our car keys and cells phone instead of paying $5 for a locker. If you want to take your own photos, bring something to keep a camera/Phone dry because you don't get any photos for the whitewater tubing. We got more sun than expected, and we should have stopped halfway and reapplied sunscreen. (After the first set of rapids would have been the best because there are some sandy areas on the left bank).

Rapids were mostly class 1, we never saw anything that approached class 2 or 3, but the water seemed low (Mid June, 85 degrees outside). The water was a great temperature and felt refreshing, not cold at all.

The facilities were nice. We didn't get to eat at the ale house because they didn't open until 12pm, but the menu looked good and the offered a free beer with an entree. Plenty of restrooms and changing stalls made it easy to get changed afterwards. Lots of supplies to purchase if you didn't bring your own but cheaper to get your own in advance. Merch was pretty expensive, but to be expected.

Would definitely recommend, but make sure you're prepared for some physical exertion. If you have kids and want to make a full day, book your tubing ahead online and do the package that includes the water park (otherwise it's another $35/person to add it later)

We had a great experience at River Riders Family Adventure Resort! The white water tubing was fun, the weather was beautiful, and we all enjoyed our day. We would definitely come back.

The only improvement I would suggest is adding proper showers maybe in the changing rooms. The outdoor rinse station is helpful, but it does not provide enough privacy or allow guests to properly rinse off after being in the river.

Overall, it was a wonderful family adventure!

We had an absolute blast river rafting at Harper’s Ferry! It was super fun and the perfect experience to share with friends.A massive shoutout to our guide, Adrianna! She is a super powerful guide and a seriously strong girl. She handled the rapids like an absolute pro, kept the energy high, and made sure our group stayed safe while having the best time possible. Thank you !
