Balcony Wednesday 3/2

Thinking of getting out Wednesday.

Maybe on Balcony with my cataraft (if my wife wants to go) or just my kayak.

Anyone interested in joining?

Hello Martha - I was wondering if I could join this trip with my wife and myself on my cataraft. I haven't been on this section of the South Fork Shenandoah and wonder how low the water might be/how tight the channels? It is a 14 foot long cataraft, about 6 feet wide that I row. It drafts maybe 4 or...

New River Gorge - Sat 7/31

I will be day tripping to the Lower New for a run Saturday. I will be in my cataraft with my daughter who wants some rowing time. Let me know if there is anyone else there who might want to join up for some company or to coordinate shuttle. We will likely be at Cunard at about 9-10am and take our ti...

Recommendation for class 2/3 practice near to Nelson Co?

I am looking for somewhere to do some brush up practice on class 2+ to 3 river, preferably not too far from Nelson Co. Seems like most flows are too low right now except New River Gorge in WV. Also might need someone to paddle with to help with safety/shuttle. I am free almost anytime! Thanks for an...
