CANOEING THE NEW RIVER
|
||||||||||||||||||||
 The second oldest river in the world, the New River winds through the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. Offering unsurpassed scenic beauty, it is
home to diverse wildlife, including species found no where else in the world. You will also find good fishing
spots and delightful shallow water areas to play in.We are on the New River after the North and South Forks converge; where the water is deeper and wider. With more water, more out crops, more breath taking beauty, you get to experience the whole river. Whether you are interested in a leisurely day of paddling, riding some rapids, or an overnight trip on the river, we can help you plan the perfect outing. We use Old Town canoes and kayaks exclusively, and our New River Campstore is stocked with all of the supplies that you could need.  If you would rather have a relaxing
day camping at the river, or need to entertain a large group in a
scenic environment, we can accommodate you. We have a mile of river frontage for
camping, and our large pavilion can accommodate your group for a day of
fun at the river.Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Virginia, in Alleghany and Grayson counties, New River Campground Canoeing and Kayaking is the place to go for your vacation on the historic waters of the New River. |
