River Equipment Rentals

 Here at River City, we are not trying to emulate or compete with the white-water rafting outfitters of the New River Gorge. That is a bucket-list adventure we encourage everyone to do at some point, and we support those folks bringing world class white water to the world here in our little slice of heaven.

Our stretch of the Greenbrier River, before and after Ronceverte Island Park, is a tranquil and placid stretch, more of a lazy river float, great for a half-day float for families and vacationers. It also is a deeper section, meaning we won't have low-water problems like many other outfitters; we can tube all summer here! And it doesn't take a whole day, nor does it cost hundreds of dollars. We offer packages that combine a kayak or a half-day tube float with a bike rental, for instance, which is a great option for added adventure and savings.

 TUBING

Nice, high quality river tubes for all sizes here! Stay within the Ronceverte Island Park parameters for a one-mile float, or do a three-mile float farther down the river.  Any trip other than the one-mile float inside the Park requires a private transportation pickup from a small local service for $10 per person.

 KAYAKS/ SUPs (Stand Up Paddling)

We have a wide selection of different products, including sit ins, sit ons, regular hard products and inflatables that are easy to take to your campground or vacation rental. Whether you’re looking for a six-foot kids’ surf or an 11-foot fishing kayak, we will get you in a vessel that’s right for you. All safety equipment is provided. Life vests are mandatory for kayaks and SUPs. 

All equipment rentals can be used at Ronceverte Island Park, taken with you, or delivered to your vacation rental. Where you use it is up to you.

River City Adventures is not a full-service Outfitter that, for instance, provides shuttle services to and from guided river trips. (That is a whole different thing, legally speaking, that we hope to offer in future years.) We do, however, facilitate the things you may need and want for an upgraded Adventure through referrals to private vendors, like guided bike trips and private transportation pickup from a small local service. Here at River City Adventures, we make adventure easy, fun, and affordable for friends and families of all sizes. Beat the heat and splashdown with us this summer!
