Morgan County's Premier River Outfitter

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!

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.

Beautiful trip, well maintained equipment, and helpful owner. We will be back next summer.

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!

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.

Had a great 3 hours of kyaking. Perfect!!

Great experience, friendly staff, awesome views, a great adventure on the Cacapon River🛶⛰️

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:)

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Our family with 2 kids had an amazing time kayaking on the Cacapon river! The river is pretty calm in August, and not deep with a few shallow spots with mild rapids. I was a complete novice and had a blast! Andrey helped us with instructions how to navigate the river and where to stop for lunch. It was our favorite outdoor activity during the WV 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!

Had a great time on the river. The whole trip took about two hours at a steady pace, but if you wanted to float and take your time, it could easily go longer. The pull-out spot was super easy to see—just after a bridge, so no confusion there. The shuttle made things easy too. If you’re hoping to fish, this isn’t the trip for you. The kayak is just not meant for fishing, although there were rod holders. If you try, bring minimal tackle. The scenery was beautiful and the river was easy to navigate. River was high enough that I only kissed the bottom once or twice. Much of the river was nearly still, but there were a few short sections where you had to pay attention. Overall I was very happy with the trip.

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.

Guests at the Old Homestead loved their experience on the Cacapon River provided by a Cacapon River Outfitters. The ease of having a shuttle made their trip so doable without having to have two cars and sorting out shuttling on their own. Plus inner tubes were provided. That's a win-win!
