    state are quite easy. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The campgrounds here at Passage Creek are pretty good. The put-in location is a reasonable drive
from Winchester, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains is a great plus for this river. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back  
for more. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.

Briefly about the general area:
Passage Creek is not far at all from Fort Valley, and while you're here you can take a hike along the Massanutten Mountain Trail. Be careful coming to the Blue Ridge Mountains, you might not ever want to return back home again. Near Passage Creek you find Boyer Gap which is a tremendous location to pop by. Everybody loves Shenandoah River Andy Guest State Park, and a journey to Shenandoah National Park is recommended.
