Adventure 16: Outdoor and Travel Outfitters - Since 1963

Precision Rafting

Precision Rafting was founded by Roger Zbel and Phil Coleman in 1981 as a small company in Western Maryland to escape the already crowded rivers of West Virginia. At this point there were no self-bailing rafts and everyone in the business thought that rafting on the Upper Youghiogheny (Yough, for short) just couldn't be done. After several years of rafting the Upper Yough successfully more companies thought that it could be done and the crowds followed.

Today, Precision Rafting is the largest whitewater outfitter on the Upper Yough and provides the finest Whitewater Rafting near Deep Creek lake Maryland. From April through October we run exciting white water rafting trips down the Upper Youghiogheny (pronounced: "Yock"—rhymes with "rock") Cheat, Big Sandy, North Branch of the Potomac, and Savage rivers. Precision Rafting is your premiere whitewater outfitter for guided raft trips, scenic float trips, duckie trips (inflatable kayaks), and kayak lessons. Precision Rafting wants to make your next rafting adventure a very special and memorable experience, from mild to wild Precision Rafting has the right trip for you.
