The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
The much heralded Gauley Season guarantees big whitewater. That is the draw and the fear. It is six successive weekends in the fall and serves as a month and a half long boater reunion. Paddlers come in from all across the world to sample the dam control released river.
Family Day at the James River
On a fine summer day, in the not too distant past, some of the ARC family ventured out to the impressive James River State Park with an armada of canoes, kayaks and stand up paddle-boards. The James River State Park is another excellent VA state park with a Livery Store and shuttle service. The available floats are 8, 6 and 2 miles respectively. We elected for the 2 mile, Canoe Landing to Dixon Landing, float as it was deemed the best distance for some of the kids involved. This would be my 9 month old baby daughter's first time on the water.
