Virginia whitewater, Back Creek - South River Tributary Augusta county, Sherando Lake to South River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     9 miles   Just get there today and was really disappointed. Not enough water to ride a kayak. I wonder when it is possible. The river is narrow and shallow. You must carry your kayak if you want to reach the end! Says Sebastien We would like to get info on prices and times for the whitewater rafting. We will be in the area the weekend of July 10th, 11th and leaving the 12th. Says Terry & June Perry Are there kayak rentals? Says Irene     This stretch of Back Creek - South River Tributary in Virginia is 9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. The wonderful Virginia scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Staunton-Waynesboro, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here.
