Recreational kayaking offers the fun and freedom of being on calm water with the added comfort and enjoyment of an open kayak. The Potomac River offers an easy escape and a taste of wilderness that most people don't associate with a river so close to a metropolitan area. Let Potomac Paddlesports be your guide in a gentle and fun introduction to the sport of calm-water kayaking on a river that will astound you!

"I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for your professionalism and caring attitude during the beginner flatwater trip we attended. Even though we spent more than three and a half hours padding down the Potomac and back up the C&O Canal, none of us was ready for the trip to end. My daughter has begun asking when we will make our next trip with Potomac Paddlesports."
-John Sotomayor, Oakton VA
