| - Albemarle and Fluvanna Counties, Virginia |
|
| The Rivanna River, a designated Commonwealth of Virginia Scenic River, flows through Albemarle and Fluvanna Counties to the James River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Beginning in Charlottesville, the 38 mile Rivanna River Water Trail gives you the chance to explore this historic landscape by canoe or kayak. In the land that Thomas Jefferson once roamed, you can still view sites along the river with which he was associated. A water trail map is available from the Rivanna Conservation Society.
Please note that boating, canoeing, kayaking and other activities on rivers can be dangerous. Obtain a water trail map and navigational maps in advance, plan your trip, and follow all safety precautions. |
