Says Jeremy The Syria to Locust Dale section of Robinson River is 19 miles long and has been rated as a class II+ section by American Whitewater. The natural beauty of Virginia and the beautiful way the water current     moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Virginia are often easier than in other states, so better not forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. 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. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. Robinson River doesn't have a lot of paddling   stretches, the Syria to Locust Dale stretch is the only one.
