We Are Rappahannock Adventures
Today's outdoor adventures...
We connect explorers with the unique natural resources and history of Virginia's Rappahannock watershed. We deliver paddling, fishing, birding, hiking, biking, and youth programs.
Rappahannock Adventures is veteran-owned and operated.
...bring deeper connection to the past.
The Rappahannock watershed is central to the story of America. Native Americans moved into this region more than 10,000 years ago. In 1608, Capt. John Smith of Jamestown explored the Rappahannock from its mouth to the Fall Line. Colonial pirates and Revolutionary patriots roamed these waters. The Civil War in Virginia was anchored on the Rappahannock Line, and the legacy of our historic commercial fishing industry endures today, in partnership with many conservation efforts.
Memories made on the river last a lifetime.
Each experience is carefully crafted to promote meaningful connections between land, water, wildlife, and you. Programs are hosted by professional guides and trainers who uphold industry best practices and safety standards.
Let's get outside!
