Short Overnight River Trip Offers Relaxed Scenic Escape on the Upper James
This overnight river trip is the shortest option offered, designed for families and anglers seeking a relaxed and accessible paddling experience. Covering 10.5 miles over two days, the journey begins with a gentle six-mile paddle down to Arcadia, typically taking two to three hours and allowing ample time for sightseeing, rest stops, and fishing along the way.
The first section of the river includes five Class II rapids, offering light excitement without being overly challenging. This makes the trip suitable for younger paddlers and beginners, while still providing enough variety to keep the experience engaging. The route flows through quiet wilderness areas and scenic mountain landscapes, creating a peaceful outdoor escape.
On the second day, participants paddle approximately 4.5 miles down to the Alpine take-out point, a journey of about one to one and a half hours. This stretch is well known for excellent smallmouth bass fishing and is frequently featured in regional angling guides.
The trip concludes with a scheduled shuttle pickup at 10:30 am in Alpine. For safety, a minimum of two participants is required, all guests must be able to swim, and the minimum age is six years. The package includes boat rental, paddles, life jackets, safety orientation, river maps, dry bags, water jugs, and access to private camping sites, ensuring a well-supported and enjoyable river experience.
