The nature scenery of Virginia and the water flowing gracefully down Hunt's Branch are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This section of Hunt's Branch in Dickenson County is 0.7 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class V+ section. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. You can pitch
    a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. This is a very short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. This is the only paddling section
