According to VA Whitewater there are two sections

First:

Class: 2-3

Distance: 8

Putin:

Forest Service Road 39 which comes off Route 60 4 miles east of Buena Vista. Says it's not well marked and can be rough.

Take Out:

At the Bridge where 610 crosses the River

Desc:

Doesn't sound too bad, from what the book says, just ledges, rocks and gravel beds. Pretty consistent class 2 broken by class 3s.

Second Trip:

Class: 2-4

Dist: 9

Putin:

At 610

Take Out:

Route 650 bridge

Desc:

Sounds a good bit harder, describes a 5-6 foot waterfall and a final set of two ledges just before take out that are 5-6 foot drops each. The book recommends careful scouting.
