Downriver Canoe Company runs tubing and canoe trips on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, and also rents Trek mountain bikes and e-bikes. It operates April through October, with extended summer weekend hours. A reservation and 50% deposit are required, and the minimum age is 5.

Some trips are dog-friendly — confirm when booking rather than assuming every trip allows it. By late August the river typically drops enough that even staff describe the ride as “bump and scrape,” so a late-summer booking is worth a call first to set expectations. As of this listing’s verification date, tubing runs about $35 and canoe trips range from about $69 for a 3-mile run to $179 for a 2-day trip; bike rentals run roughly $35 for 2 hours up to $70 for a full day, with e-bikes higher. Prices are set by the outfitter and can change — confirm current rates when booking.
