Upper James River Four-Day Wilderness Expedition Offers Scenic Multi-Day River Adventure
This four-day wilderness adventure takes paddlers along the Upper James River Water Trail, offering a rich combination of scenic beauty, light rapids, and remote camping experiences. The journey begins just below the confluence of the Jackson and Cowpasture Rivers, where the James River is formed, setting the stage for an immersive multi-day expedition through Virginia’s scenic river corridor.
Over the course of four days, participants cover a total of 44.3 miles, with carefully planned daily distances: 7.8 miles on day one, 17.5 miles on day two, 15 miles on day three, and 4 miles on the final day. The route includes primitive campsites along the river and access to resupply points on days two and three, allowing paddlers to maintain a balance between adventure and preparation.
Throughout the journey, participants navigate enjoyable rapids while traveling through long stretches of remote wilderness and designated Virginia Scenic River sections. The experience is designed to help families and groups disconnect from everyday life and fully immerse themselves in nature while paddling and camping along a peaceful yet dynamic river environment.
The package includes boat rental, paddles, life jackets, safety orientation, river maps, dry bags, five-gallon water jugs, private camping access, and all required shuttle services. Participants are responsible for bringing personal camping gear and food, emphasizing self-sufficiency while still benefiting from logistical support. The trip concludes with a final shuttle pickup at 10:30 AM at Alpine, offering a structured and memorable end to this extended river expedition.

Customer Reviews
Just completed the 3 day, 2 night glamping trip Glen Wilton to Buchanan. I would highly recommend this trip and Twin Rivers in general. We checked in and were given great packets with maps and mileage, as well as a briefing by staff. Definitely helped us be prepared for the conditions. We got paddles and PFDs and put our gear in the kayak trailer, dry bags were available for our use but we didn’t need them. We were taken to our second night campsite first, just to familiarize and see where to exit the river. We then went to our first night campsite, same drill but we left our gear there. A quick trip to the launch point and we were off. I can’t stress enough how well prepared we felt before we even hit the water. The campsites (Glampsites) were really nice, wall tents with cots, fire pits, chairs, tables, fresh water container, bathroom, and firewood for sale. Really very comfortable! We utilized Twin Rivers gear moving service, so all we took on the water was fishing gear, lunches, and day bags. Twin Rivers had all our other gear moved to the next site and waiting for us. Very convenient, made the paddling way easier and more comfortable. Overall a definite 5 star experience, a professional and friendly outfit and staff, competitive pricing, and a well thought out experience. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Twin Rivers, I will definitely be doing it again!
We absolutely loved our time on the river. The staff we met were so friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend going mid-week at the end of September / start of October if you can; you get the whole river to yourself!
We went on the 10.5 mile alpine route and had a wonderful day. The scenery was incredible , class 1 and 2 rapids were great but not too overwhelming. We called when we were an hour out and the twin river outfitter crew was there to pick us up at the end of our day . Great trip!
