The average Virginia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in
other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less demanding. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is the only paddling stretch along North River. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. No matter if you're
whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here.
