A great way to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains is by paddling on one of the many rivers, streams and lakes that meander through the region's valleys and mountain passes. With cool, clear water below and sunny skies above, you'll love the blueways of Franklin County and the Upper James River in Botetourt County. Outfitters are ready to help you plan a fun and safe day on the water that your family will remember forever.
