On weekends, the facility has three regular canoe shuttles leaving the campground at 8 a.m., 10 a.m. and noon, and two tube shuttles departing the site from 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
“We recommend people come a half hour before the shuttle leaves, and we recommend that people call to check on water conditions,” said Mrs. Haase.
The Haases check with hydrologists daily for the height of the Rappahannock River, an important safety measure.
“We usually let people on the river between 3.2 feet and five feet. Below 3.2 feet is not pleasant and above five feet is unsafe,” Mrs. Haase explained.
If the Rapphannock is unsatifactory for canoeing, she said, they sometimes take people on the Rapidan River, which is close to the grounds and offers a nice alternative.
The family-like atmosphere and the good facilities seem to attract people from all over.
“We look for good water when we come canoeing,” said Trade Wilson of Westminster, Md., who came to the grounds for a four-day trip over the Fourth of July weekend with three friends. “This is our second time here. We chose this over the Shenandoah River because it flow's so well and the campground is spread out and we aren’t on top of each other.”
Mrs. Wilson said she appreciates the Haases’ efforts to review safety procedures before they send people on the river. “It is nice to be reminded of the safety procedures— they make everything so homey here,” she said.
