Harpers Ferry Access provides a popular canoe and kayak entry point on the Shenandoah River near its confluence with the Potomac, with a dedicated River Access Parking Lot (36 spaces) located at the junction of Highway 340 and Shenandoah Street.

Access to the water is via a 200-yard path from the parking area, with an additional access point under the U. S. 340 bridge on the West Virginia side.

This location is particularly popular with whitewater kayakers and rafters, and a park entrance fee applies for access.
