North Branch Potomac Whitewater Weekend
Join Team River Runner Fredericksburg VA for a weekend of whitewater paddling on the beautiful North Branch Potomac River (Class II-III) near Keyser, WV. We're hosting a fun, beginner/intermediate trip from Friday, April 11th to Sunday, April 13th. The plan is to arrive Friday afternoon/evening and depart Sunday afternoon.
We'll be staying in rustic cabins right at the put-in at Barnum Whitewater Area, with two cabins reserved (one for women, one for men). The women’s cabin is a little less rustic, with 3 beds, while the men’s cabin has 3 bunk beds. Both cabins have space for air mattresses if needed. First-come, first-served tent sites are also available, and we can reserve more cabins if necessary. (There are other hotel/lodging options in the area as well).
This trip is perfect for kayaks, inflatable kayaks, shredders, and rafts. There are dam releases on both Saturday and Sunday. The water is always cold, so immersion gear is required, but don’t worry—TRR Fredericksburg has dry suits, kayaks, inflatable kayaks, and rafts available for participants.

Camping Information:
Camping is available at Green House Park. This is traditional camping with no electric or water hookups. Fires are allowed in the fire pits provided around the field. Please limit fires to the “official” fire pits. And help our volunteers manage garbage, if a garbage bag is near full, take it to a dumpster and ask us for a new one. There are many families with kids and campers with dogs at the festival, please drive carefully. Also, the camping area is relatively close to people’s homes, please lower the noise after 11 PM. Note: Greenhouse Park is not open for camping except for special events. Camping is available at Quemahoning Reservoir Recreation Area , Stonycreek Launch (814 242-8219; 2869 Seanor Rd, Hollsopple; this is the closest camping), Camp Harmony (which has both Cabins and Tent & RV Camping), Nanty-Glo Park and at Duman Park. Quemahoning Recreation Area and Stonycreek Launch may fill early, call ASAP if you want to camp there.
Fee: $15 per person Friday – 5PM Sunday (additional $5 per person for Thursday night). There is an additional $20 fee for large campers / RVs (single charge, not per person). (TRR will cover camping fees for Service Members and Veterans)
Water: Drinking water is available on site via two water pumps.
Fires: Firewood will be available on site through the Boy Scouts for $3 per bundle, but it is always a good bet to bring some extra from home just to be safe. Please don’t waste firewood with bonfires.
Bathrooms: Port-o-Johns with hand washing stations will be available throughout the festival.
Showers: There are no showers available.
Other than the rapid named “Showers” at the canyon put-in, you are going to go au natural for the weekend aside from any unintended “swims” during your paddling adventures.
Dogs: Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.
Please be sure to pick up after your furry four-legged friends.
All camp sites must be cleaned up and vacated by 5PM Sunday. Vehicles may be parked in designated parking areas, but no vehicles may be parked overnight.

Cherry Blossom Paddle W/ TRR Southern MD Chapter
We're teaming up with the TRR Southern Maryland chapter for a scenic flatwater paddle to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms along the Potomac River. We'll meet at Gravelly Point Boat Ramp in Arlington, VA, and launch for a short paddle upstream whilst taking in the cherry blossoms, then head back to the ramp.
Feel free to bring your own kayak, but please note- whitewater kayaks are not recommended as you will have trouble keeping up. We do have TRR flatwater kayaks available for use at the Fredericksburg and Southern Maryland chapters; signup under the "Participant needs kayak" section at the sign up link
Immersion gear is required due to the cold water temperatures. A very limited number of chapter drysuits are available for use, if you need one please reach out to Austin Berry directly austin.berry@teamriverrunner.org so he can reserve it for you.
