Exciting Activities on the Shenandoah River.


SWIMMING 

We offer access areas on our riverfront retreat where families spend hours swimming, wading and splashing.


TUBING, CANOEING, AND KAYAKING

The Shenandoah River provides hours of enjoyment for float trips. If you want to stay on property, we have a river access area and an exit area. For a 30 to 45 minute tube ride, you don't even need to leave the property! Within a short drive up river, many guests like to be dropped off at one of several public access points to experience longer floats down river. 


FISHING

We offer two  catch and release ponds that do not require a license, and fishing on our 3/4 mile stretch of the Shenandoah River is some of the best around. 


The Dragonfly Fishing Company

 Offers guided fishing trips on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. They offers both Fly Fishing and Conventional Tackle for their trips. Download their flyer here, or call 540-307-1501 to schedule a guided fishing trip.


BOATING

Although the Shenandoah River is known for its shallow, safe waters, there are deep water areas where motor boats can safely operate. There are rental party boats, jet skis, and leisurely guided cruises available in Luray. There is a public boat ramp for non-motorized watercrafts across the bridge from our property and public access to the deep water is only 14 miles away.
