Virginia whitewater, Goose Creek Loudoun county, Fairfax Dam to Goose Creek Country Club section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II(III)     2.5 miles   Tried to put in at the Fairfax Dam but the City of Fairfax has closed the road and posted no trespassing signs everywhere.  Seem to be pretty serious about prosecuting violators and towing cars.  The portage around dam is too hard for rafts and steep for others. Says Mike Meyer The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind     that many of the sections in this state are safe for beginners. This section of Goose Creek is 2.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II(III) section.
