CRO will give you a great kayaking trip down a beautiful, clean, mostly peaceful river! We paddled as much as we wanted, and had wonderful swims at two different places. It was a memorable way to get fresh air and enjoy being on the water in a glorious spot! We'll be back!

Enjoyed a beautiful tubing trip on the Cacapon today. We did the 11:30 slot and finished at 3:30. The paddles were helpful to keep us moving- definitely recommend using. Tubes were super comfy and the cooler tube easily held our food, drink, and dry bag. Our guide wisely instructed us for our journey and safely delivered us to the put in spot. It’s very convenient to be able to just get out of the river and into your car at the take out. Hope to do it again!

It's a harrowing ride out to the put in spot, but the tubing is worth it. Just a heads up that it's a long float (we did it in 3 but paddled a lot- it was taking others 5-6 hours). Bring sunscreen!! Much less crowded than Harper's Ferry and you can stop in Berkeley Springs for dinner and get a snack at the shop.

We had a great time tubing down the river. The gentleman (the owner I think?) who drove us in the van to the drop off point was very friendly and helpful and gave us clear directions, the equipment was in great condition, and the milkshakes at the store were delicious.

The weather was perfect, the river and hills are beautiful, and we didn’t see a single soul except for our group. Did see various birds and turtles. Water was a little low so we needed to scoot over /maneuver around rocks and a couple of bends with obstacles.

Took the kids and grands on a float. Andre and family were great. They even opened the store a little early and made us sandwiches for the trip. The float was relaxing, safe and lots of fun. We didn't see another soul the entire 4 hour trip. Mostly shallow, with some deep spots for swimming and a few "rapids" that the kids thought were super fun. Suitable for 3 and 10 year old, and they provided instruction, life vests, rope and a float for our cooler. Also pointed out the best spots to swim and stop for lunch. Will 100 percent do it again.

This family of 5 had a great day on the Cacapon River float regardless of the water depth (or lack there of). The ride to the drop off point was very "entertaining" in its own way:() The owner was extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared some great facts along the way. Our float which typically takes 4 hours took 5.5 hours with the low water but we enjoyed every minute of it. They supplied us with not just an "extra tube" for our cooler but an actual blow up boat for our full size cooler that was packed with food and drinks for a long day on the water. Several good spots to pull off and have lunch and the view of the mountains along the way was awesome. It was great to get out at the extraction point, leave your tube in the grassy area, and simply get in your car and drive away. I would highly recommend this as long as there is some RAIN in the forecast leading up to your trip!!!!! Great time:)

Definitely a worthwhile adventure on the river. Andre, our shuttle master, was great - he shared some local history and some great tips on navigating the shallower spots. The river was picturesque, and I even landed a couple nice smallmouth bass. The only downside was that the river was a bit low, so I had to disembark a few times to steer us through the tough spots. But that’s Mother Nature and the small challenges made this trip memorable. Thanks for the chance!

Appreciated the easy online booking, helpful staff, and beautiful river. We rented two canoes and enjoyed an easy paddle along the Cacapon. Felt like we had the river to ourselves.

This is a beautiful river and we appreciated Cacapon River Outfitters. They have a nice short kayak trip, or when I reached out offered a longer custom trip (although recommended against it given the low water). The short trip was very nice -- beautiful clear water, easy smooth paddling with some fun riffles, mostly deep enough even in very low water conditions. We saw turtles, fish, and a very active osprey hunting in the river. A few spots where we had to portage our kayaks through the rocks, but less than I expected given it is mid August and the water level is very low. It took us around 90 minutes once we were in the water.

Andre and the rest of the staff in the store were very friendly and helpful! The kayaks were good quality, they supply life vests, the float was pretty and easy with only a few rocky spots to maneuver around. Was a great weekend activity with friends.

Had a great day tubing with the family on the river! Even during a soaking rain the last 10 minutes! Took us almost 3 hrs.

Andrey was an excellent host and safe driver. It was a fun off-road adventure just to get to the launch point. Very accommodating and priced reasonably. My wife and I had a great time! Thanks!

An absolutely perfect float! The river was calm enough for a relaxing day with friends. We loved the free cooler float. Stop by the store after for local icecream . 10/10

Booked the kayaks at 9am, came to the pick up location at 10:30 am, on the water by 11:15 am. Great family business and services. Outfits like this one is why we keep coming to West Virginia.

Great excursion for our family. Andrey was very organized and detailed in explanation, etc. He made sure we had everything we needed for our trip. Weather was perfect and water was clean. Lots of rocky areas to navigate. We wore water sock type shoes but should have had trail shoes for better traction on the rocks. Paddles might be a nice option for those who want to move a little easier - my arms are fairly short and it was difficult to paddle when needed. It’s a long ride down the river, but plenty of spots to stop and regroup. There were 8 in our group and we had a great time! The ride in the shuttle van to the put-in location was just as fun.

Andre is very knowledgable and although the river was very low (2.4 feet) he took the kids on the deepest sections and they had no portage during their trip!

We had a wonderful time kayaking with Cacapon River Outfitters! Andrey gave us a helpful and humorous ride to the push off point. He had a tandem kayak ready for us! The water was clean, and the experience a wonderful memory for us all! We will be coming back!

Easy and relaxing tube float. Water has some very light rapids that are a ton of fun. Mostly smooth water and you can stand up for most of it if you want to walk or take a break on the shore. Tubes are in like new condition with a head rest and drink holder. Cooler tube attaches easily and comes with your reservation—as does a shuttle ride to the drop off location. Scenic, comfortable drive with a friendly driver (one of the owners).

A+ day and excursion! Andrey picked us up on time and ensured both my kiddos had appropriate life vests for their height and weight. The drive to the launch was quick and fun. We got lots of great tips on which bank to follow at specific times. Well organized and super fun. Would recommend to anyone and great for kids and families.

Great service, a fun drive to the launch, and a relaxing time on the river. River was nice and high for us, something to keep an eye on.

We enjoyed our adventure with Cacapon River Outfitters earlier this week. The shuttle driver was wonderful. He pointed out places of interest and landmarks along the ride and told us about the shallow spots in the river, which was a bit low. Our favorite activity was looking for wildlife, and we saw a lot of turtles, fish and a few American Bald Eagles cruising on the thermals. This is a beautiful river. We will go again - hopefully when the water in the river is a little higher.

We've been to Cacapon State Park for years, but this was our first time trying Cacapon River Outfitters. We had such a a great time! The staff were very helpful and answered all of my questions to accommodate our large group. And the actual trip was really fun. The water was mostly slow, with a few faster parts. It was a great trip for kids and the adults had a lot of fun too.
