The rivers and lakes of Virginia’s Blue Ridge and are not as intimidating as some may believe them to be. Well, there are pretty intimidating stretches, but there are also very easy opportunities, too!

The 45-mile Roanoke River Blueway is a nice float and paddle for stretches, but you’ll reach the gorge (off the Blue Ridge Parkway) and find Class II rapids waiting for you.

Calm, Carvins Cove is an excellent body of water to get your paddles wet for the first time. Kayak and paddle boat rentals are also available at the Marina location from April through September.
