HOW WE CAME TO BE
Mudkat Outfitters LLC is owned and operated by Mike and Crissy Jones, and Rodney and Jennifer Rines. This business came to be while camping along the Shenandoah River with our church youth group, sparked by a casual conversation between Mike and Rodney about people’s love for the river. Mike is the “driver” who got the ball rolling and kept the fire under the rest of us, Rodney is the resident “river expert” (ask him about his three day canoe trips in the fall/winter,) and Crissy and Jennifer are the brains behind the whole operation! We won’t tell the guys that though! This is a total family and friend run venture. Our mission is to offer first class customer service, and a fun, safe time on the river! We will throw in some good ole humor, and southern hospitality for free! Give us a call at (540) 843-0919 for more information and to make a reservation!

**** PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN OUR HOURS BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 12, 2016****
Fall is coming, and our tube season is winding down fast! Probably only for a couple of weeks. So come soon if you want to get one last tube float in! Not to worry, we do have kayaks and canoes for when our tubing season ends.
BUSINESS HOURS:
Monday: Closed (We will return all calls at the end of the day)
Tuesday through Friday: All trips are by reservation only. We need at least one day’s notice to make staffing arrangements. Although someone will not be available to answer calls on most weekdays beginning September 12, 2016, we will return calls and messages at the end of each day.
Saturday: 8:00-5:00 or later until we are done!
Sunday: 10:00-5:00 or later until we are done!
So, why aren’t you there and answering my calls on weekdays you may ask? Tourism traffic in our area slows down greatly when schools go back in session, which ultimately means business reduces significantly for us smaller guys, especially on weekdays. Reducing hours helps us keep our prices low and continue to offer the personalized services that have become so popular, such as pick up from local campgrounds. So don’t be afraid to leave us a message about a float trip, your business is very important to us and we return calls each day. Hope to see you soon!
