Water enthusiasts of all ages enjoy Sokol Washington’s annual 15-mile canoe trip down the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. The aim of Sokol Washington outdoor activities is not only to promote physical fitness but also to foster enjoyment of nature and appreciation for our area’s natural resources.
So, join us for a day of fun and adventure on one of America’s most beautiful rivers as you paddle through the Shenandoah Valley with Shenandoah National Park to the East and George Washington National Forest to the West.
Over the years Sokol Washington members and friends have enjoyed canoe and rafting trips during various seasons of the year. These are always fun and well attended. We hope you can join us at our many outdoor exploits, and, we are always open to sponsoring additional outings if anyone wishes to initiate such activities.
