Virginia whitewater - North Anna River, Hanover County Hanover county, Butler Ford Bridge to Route 1 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     9.5 miles   This is not an afternoon trip, if water is low it's easily an entire day trip, if it is low plan on dragging quite a bit, still fun but wear proper shoes! It can be turned into an overnight two day fishing trip if you have permission from private landowners to camp.  The only public land along this river is at the take out at Rt.1, all other lands are private property.  The put in is private property, has approx. 4-5 ''parking spaces''.  The owner allows those that paddle only to park there.  $1 is requested for parking. $1 does not include your trash     removal, there is a waste can available.  Please help keep the land and river clean.  There is a big drop at falls hole near the end of the trip that can bend even the most experienced paddlers craft in half. I beleive it is considered to be a class V.  Most take out and walk around.  What you pack in, pack out, and you will be welcomed. Leave it like you found it and have fun!
