Lee Bridge

After Hollywood rapid, there is a bit of flatwater and the river floats under the Lee Bridge. The Lee Bridge (Hwy 1/301) is the main walkway for pedestrians/kayak fans to cross the James to Belle Isle. We like to use the first pylon to splat and there is a nice eddy line for squirts off an old, stone railroad bridge support.

After the Lee Bridge, there are three options to run the Vepco Levee (potential lethal hydraulic). The most popular is the Fish Ladder on river left just under Ashland City Limits sign. The second option is called pincushion which is 6 slots to the left of the fish ladder and lastly, you can run the X's and is river right of center.
