Virginia Kayak CanoeJust as the waters around Natural Bridge VA and the rivers and streams of Rockbridge County are renowned for their Virginia White Water Rafting, these same regions are great for Virginia Kayaking. A kayak is much different from a regular raft in that the paddler sits in the kayak in an upright position with their legs in front of them; they also typically use a double bladed paddle to maneuver the craft across the rapids. Almost all kayaks are enclosed. Canoes are typically open crafts, in which the paddler sits within the boat and swiftly paddles across the water. Canoes are created for slow moving waters; kayaks for fast moving rapids. Learn more about some of the great spots to enjoy Canoeing near Natural Bridge and Kayaking near Natural Bridge.Kayakers love the Goshen Pass to Rockbridge Baths section of the Maury River in Rockbridge near Natural Bridge. Filled with tons of class III and class IV rapids in a six mile stretch, this popular spot is particularly renowned for its scenery. In the spring season just after the rains, many kayakers venture out into this section. Further down, from Rockbridge Baths to the James River, the Maury River flows for 32 miles and features class II and class III rapids that are perfect for easy going Virginia Kayaking Trips. More experienced kayakers might like the fast flowing class IV and class V rapids of Marl Creek, found along roadside Route 706, and a section of Laurel Run, from Game Road to the Maury River which also features some quality rapids. Much of the James River is slow moving, creating some great spots to enjoy a lazy afternoon canoeing.

Paddle boats are allowed on the small lake and in the summers this area is heavily visited.
