VA Exit 79:- Heart pounding white water rafting down the James River is possible right in downtown Richmond, in one of the nation’s only class III-IV runs of rapids in an urban setting.
At Riverside Outfitters headquarters, a throwback to the hippie 60’s, you can also rent calmer outdoor gear: kayaks, canoes, mountain bikes, or stand-up paddle boats.
If you need them, you can pick up arborist’s gear, water shoes, T-shirts, caps and sun screen. C’mon, get out of the car and have some outdoor fun!
