Our goal is to promote recreation, conservation and sportsmanship through paddling rivers and lakes in and around Nelson County, Virginia . The 8AM run is intended for experienced racers as there will be no safety boat support on this run. Sunday's races are contingent upon paddler interest and are on an experimental basis. We hope that enough paddlers will be able to stay over Saturday night to make Sunday's races possible. Camping for the Night James River State Park has a variety of comping arrangements including primitive camping alongside the river.
Free camping is also available near the takeout.
