Rappahannock

This is a pristine float with good water quality There is lots of wildlife including bald eagles, herons, turtles, and water snakes. This is a perfect float for overnight camping. There are many campsites along the river especially near the confluence. This float has several Class IIs and is a good one to hone boat steering skills. The water level was around 3.6 on the Remington gauge and this level was a little scrapy through the rapids. There are many stone locks, old mill dams, and canal walls to keep those who appreciate history intriqued. I would recommend this float to anyone who wants to get away from civilization even though much of it lurks a short drive away.
