Kayaking (Whitewater)
James River - Richmond
James River - Richmond
Richmond offers a unique white water run with its class 4 rapids and skyline in the background. We’ll run this section of the James as it flows alongside downtown Richmond with some class 2, 3 and 1 class 4 rapid – area famous Hollywood Rapid. In order to be qualified for this trip you must have taken the intro trip with me or have similar experience, AND have lots of prior river experience in at least class 2 rapids. So that I can screen your experience you will be added to the waitlist upon joining, then I will move you to the trip list if you are qualified. If you have any questions please contact me via email at dclark@virginia.edu or cell at (434) 962-9737.
I will already be in Richmond doing the section above this one (class 1-2), so will either coordinate to meet you at the put-in for the lower run, or will see you on that trip (please sign up for both if you plan to run both sections). The start time for this adventure is the time I anticipate to be at the Reedy Creek put-in.
