You might trip over rocks, stumps or other debris on shore while trying to hold the watercraft or tie it to a suitable object on shore. Water sports and outdoor activities entail a large amount of physical exertion and effort as well as emotional and mental stability. You will be responsible for your own rescue on the river and your own well-being on land. Accidents can occur during off-river travel. Trails are often steep, rocky and slippery.
Participants can slip or fall during a hike, resulting in injury.
Poisonous or dangerous plants, insects or animals can be found with harmful effects on some guests. Exposure to the natural elements can be uncomfortable or harmful. It is also possible for some participants to suffer mental anguish or trauma from the experience or their injuries. I certify that I am fully capable of participating in all activities. I confirm that I have read the above statement on some of the possible risks in this activity and, therefore, assume full responsibility for myself for bodily injury, illness, death and loss of personal property and any expenses as a result of my negligence or the negligence of Shenandoah River Outfitters, Inc. and Shenandoah Canoe Company, their employees and agents.
