Browntown to Karo Landing section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV+ 4.1 miles
The nature scenery of Virginia and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The Browntown to Karo Landing stretch of Gooney Run in Warren County is 4.1 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV+ section. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The Blue Ridge Mountains scenery is wonderful. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling
trip. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you're coming from Winchester it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not
familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Virginia is often easier than elsewhere, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. The Browntown to Karo Landing stretch is the only paddling stretch along Gooney Run.
