The list of scheduled trips below remains a work in progress and reflects mostly weekend trips. Other trips are ad hoc and announced via the BRV email list.

For more about BRV's excursions, please see the club's trip guidelines.

Mid-week trips:

  • The Thursday Paddlers are an informal group of DC area whitewater boaters that was led for many years by Steve Ettinger.  Now coordinated by a handful of others, their trips go out once or several times a week from March to November, water and weather permiting.  To join their weekly email list, please contact Alf Cooley (703-442-7935) or Mark Brenneman, who coordinate the trips.  Also of counsel are Ron Knipling, Tim Tilson, Barb Brown, Miki Komlosh, Bob Maxey, Gus Anderson, John Snitzer, and Wayne McDaniel. Stay tuned to their emails to see what's up for each Thursday or the occasional week-end.
  • Wednesday evening paddling on the lower Potomac: CCA's Michael Baummer coordinates trips most weeks from Anglers to Lock 10, or at Little Falls or Violette's Lock. To participate, email Mike or call him at 703-521-8334.
  • Also stay tuned to BRV emails whenever there's water in fun places.
