Upper James River 60-Mile Expedition Delivers Challenging Multi-Day Wilderness Adventure
This 60-mile river adventure offers paddlers the opportunity to explore the full length of the Upper James River Water Trail, combining calm scenic stretches with more demanding whitewater sections, including the notable Class III Balcony Falls. Designed for experienced paddlers aged 12 and above (accompanied by an adult), the trip requires a minimum group size of eight participants for safety and coordination.
The route takes travelers through diverse landscapes featuring mountain views, wooded riverbanks, and long stretches ideal for fishing, swimming, and rest stops. Campsites are positioned along the river to support overnight stays, while town stops in Buchanan and Glasgow provide opportunities for resupply during the multi-day journey.
This expedition is often chosen by scouting groups and organized teams and can qualify as a 50-mile adventure requirement for certain programs. Due to the technical nature of some rapids and the remote sections of the river, participants undergo screening before booking confirmation to ensure appropriate skill levels.
All essential equipment is included, such as boats, paddles, life jackets, safety orientation, river maps, dry bags, five-gallon water jugs, private camping access, and shuttle transport. Participants must have prior experience with Class I and II rapids and be prepared for a fully self-guided expedition that emphasizes safety, teamwork, and self-sufficiency throughout the journey. The trip is scheduled to avoid weekend returns, with the final shuttle pickup at 2 pm, offering a structured and memorable wilderness river experience.
