We will be sharing many intriguing facts about the rich history of this River City on America’s founding river…the mighty James. Get ready to be connected with this river-based learning experience that will inspire ecological understanding, nature appreciation, and conservation action. You will also find that this section of river is teeming with wildlife year round– ranging from colorful flowers and foliage, a healthy fish and turtle population and birds of all sizes– including majestic Great Blue Herons and Snowy Egrets. We even have regular Bald Eagle sightings!!
Whether you are new to sit on top kayaking or you are a seasoned pro, our trips offer a chance for anyone to experience Richmond VA in an exciting way!
