The Natural Bridge is located near two of the State’s premier
paddling rivers, the historic James River and the exciting Maury
River both located within minutes of the Natural Bridge.
 The James River known as “Americas River”, the river that helped
found our nation has more history than any other river in the
country. Even today, remnants from the James & Kanawha Canal
System originally conceived by George Washington after his
Presidency can be found along many sections of the River. The
Upper James River features numerous public boat landings along
nearly 61 miles from Iron Gate to the Snowden Dam just down
river from the James River Gorge featuring the exciting Balcony
Falls rapid that attracts paddlers from all over the State.
Listed below are several of the more popular trip options for
the recreational paddler.
