CLASS II-III 10 miles
The Rt 33 to Route 613 section of Dry River in Virginia is 10 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. If you're coming from Harrisonburg it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Since you're on this site you are
probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Virginia you might find
the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. The natural beauty of Rockingham County and the cool fresh water beats anything.
