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.
