James River 3-Day 33-Mile Paddle Trip Offers Scenic Camping Adventure
This three-day river trip covers 33 miles and is among the most popular adventures on the James River. The journey begins below the convergence of the Jackson and Cowpasture Rivers at the Glen Wilton Bridge, where guests are shuttled upstream to the Glen Wilton public boat landing before floating downstream back toward Buchanan.
Along the route, paddlers experience a series of manageable rapids suitable for canoes loaded with camping gear, along with wide stretches of calm water framed by scenic Blue Ridge Mountain views. The river corridor also offers opportunities for fishing, swimming, and relaxed breaks throughout the journey.
The trip includes overnight stays at private riverside campsites, allowing participants to enjoy a comfortable and immersive outdoor experience. Pricing covers boat rental, paddles, life jackets, safety orientation, river maps, dry bags, five-gallon water jugs, access to camping areas, and all required shuttle services.
The itinerary is designed with flexibility in mind, with the final day ending directly at the outpost where vehicles are parked, eliminating the need for a return shuttle. A minimum of two participants is required, making it ideal for families or small groups seeking a balanced mix of paddling, camping, and outdoor recreation in a scenic river setting.
