(Canceled) May 23, 2023 trip with the Rivanna River Company

$55.00

This is a discounted trip for WSC members only

The plan is to run the Rivanna River from Charlottesville to Milton, a 5.5-mile trip (about four hours on the water) of Class I and Class II rapids, scenic beauty, and wildlife. All equipment is provided.

This four-hour river trip is limited to paddlers with enough experience to control their boats because of several exciting rapids along the route. Beginning at Rivanna River's base in Charlottesville at 10 am this trip follows the Rivanna as it cuts through the Southwest Mountains. The rocky terrain and remains of historic dams make for interesting paddling and a history lesson on “Jefferson’s River.” Several Class II ledges require the ability to read rapids and control the boat. Just outside of town, the river enters an area that is surprisingly untouched, with excellent wildlife watching and scenery. WSC members only. 16 slots.
