For our next adventure, the group decided to travel north toward Richmond, Virginia to check out the Mattaponi and Pamunkey River. Our destination for this trip was the South Anna River, which is a relaxing yet exhilarating 6 mile paddle from Route 33 to Route 54. The South Anna River has steady moving water flowing downriver, with numerous class 1 rapids along the way. This added a little extra excitement (and anxiety) amongst the group!
We are starting this blog as we begin new adventures around the great Coast of Virginia. Our goal through these blogs are to explore new areas and access points as well as provide a basic review of our experience in hopes of enlightening others on great locations to get outdoors and enjoy the coast and all it has to offer. Every paddle is a different environment which brings different challenges and new adventures so we hope to provide insight on the best places for you and your family/friends to paddle and sightsee, regardless of the ability level. Whether it’s a relaxing calm paddle down a river, paddling across the bay to beaches or remote islands or maybe even catching an adrenaline rush on some flowing rapids; you can experience it all!
