Intermediate white water kayaking
Sunday should be a great day for kayaking! I want to take advantage of the water levels so am leading a beginner trip in the AM-early afternoon, so since I’ll have the gear in/on my Jeep anyway, why not head down the mid-James for some fun class III paddling. The section of the James from Glasgow, VA to Snowden has …
Intro kayaking down the Rivanna
Thank you Isabell!! She brought the Rivanna up 22 feet (which was at 3′)! It looks like the level is peaking at 25 feet, which means by Sunday it should be back down to a nice, safe, yet challenging introductory level. Take the chance while we have the water. The Rivanna is perfect for beginners with its narrow width, fun …

Mountain Biking at Sherando Lake
This ride is one of my favorites in VA and is considered one of the best climbs in the state, and because it’s a loop it also has an excellent down hill section. This 21 mile loop starts on FS road 42 at 1,595′ elevation, and takes you up to the top of Bald Mountain (3,587′), then continues down the …
