Natural Tunnel State Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 1.8 miles
The nature scenery of Scott County and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Natural Tunnel State Park section of Stock Creek is 1.8 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Whitewater rafting and kayaking
spots in Virginia tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around
here. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
