River Description

Ed Evangelidi testifies:
Pay attention to the water level. If it is scrapy near the put-in, you will have a long day. Fall Line Rapid (Cl 3+) is scoutable from river right and has a Cl 2+ sneak route river left at medium-high water. This whole area has lots of trench works left over from the civil war.

1.There is a USGS gauge for this river! It is the "North Anna River at Doswell." Can the
StreamKeeper please post it? You actually pass it on this float after the Fall Line rapid. 2.Fall
Line rapid has a portage trail on river left, if you skirt the left bank as you approach the rapid
you should see it 3.I have pictures of fall line rapid I'd like to post here if the Stream Keeper
would contact me.

Ran the North Anna yesterday. River was a bit low. 5 hour trip. Rock gardens were treacherous.
Falls line very low - only the bottom was runable. Worth the work! Edit

17 May 03: There is a $1.00 per boat put-in fee at the route 601 bridge (Butler Crossing) in
accordance with the Float Fisherman of Virginia sign posted there. This run definitely needs a
relatively high level of water to adequately negotiate the Class III at the fall line, about 8
miles into the trip. Great scenery, pristine and natural. Easy run except for the rapids at the
fall line. Try the fishing, but be sure you have a valid license! Fritz Crytzer
