Wade in or Row on Some Water

Take a quick, cool dip or a paddle a ways down Floyd County’s Little River.  Either choice will certainly refresh you!  Don’t forget to snap some shots with a waterproof camera – there is lots of nature and memories made that you’ll want to capture.  There are access points for easy put-in and pick-up.  You might be all day enjoying the river, so pack a picnic and include a supply of drinks for hydration.

The 2nd Annual Little River Run is June 4th, with registration at 11am near the intersection of Thunderstruck & Slusher Store Roads – check calendar of events on pgs. 28 & 29 for more info).  Floaters will travel approximately two miles down river after a briefing about safe water passage.  Participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.  Entry fee is $10 per canoe – if you don’t own a canoe/kayak, Contact Daniel at (540) 267-5565 (see pg. 17, lower left – On the Water in Floyd).  You may fish the river with a valid Virginia license.
