Upper Jackson River Paddle Offers Scenic Rapids and Family-Friendly Adventure
Outdoor recreation along the Jackson River is attracting paddlers seeking a balance of gentle thrills and natural beauty in one of Alleghany County’s most scenic waterways. The upper section of the river has become a popular choice for guided and self-guided trips thanks to its clear water, mountain backdrops, and approachable whitewater conditions.
The journey typically begins at the Indian Draft Boat Landing, where paddlers launch into a picturesque stretch of river featuring Class I and II rapids. These sections provide light excitement suitable for beginners while still offering enough variation to engage more experienced paddlers navigating the route.
As the river winds downstream, participants pass through a landscape defined by forested banks, open views of the surrounding mountains, and calm pools that alternate with playful currents. The route highlights the natural character of the region, allowing paddlers to experience both adventure and relaxation in a single continuous journey.
The trip concludes at the Intervale Center in Intervale Park, offering a convenient and accessible endpoint for visitors. With family-friendly guidelines and safety recommendations in place, the Upper Jackson River paddle continues to grow in popularity as a memorable outdoor experience that blends mild whitewater excitement with immersive natural scenery.

Just had a brilliant time kayaking on the Boyne river in a big group with really fun instructors. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! They thought of every detail and managed to teach all of us (with varying abilities!) to successfully paddle our way down the river with many laughs along the way! Thanks🙏
I booked Boyne Valley Activities for my Scout Group (6th Meath). We had a fantastic day out. James and his team were very welcoming and professional. We were taken by bus to a starting point about 4k from Trim. The whole session was perfectly pitched for our group, which was mixed and ranged from 12 to 16 years old. It was a great mix of fun and learning in a safe environment. The landscape we paddled through was beautiful and we had a great day. They have a lovely café for anyone waiting to drop/collect and nearby parking is easy and cheap. Can definitely recommend!
Very nice cafe. Went there after visiting the playground with my niece and only noticed it when we saw people arriving with ice creams. It's outdoors and very scenic with the river running at the back of it. I'd say it would be great after a kayaking session. Prices were not extortionate either
