Our guided canoe/camping trips are a great way to explore and discover the beautiful and scenic New River. We will paddle sections of the river that are appropriate for novice as well as seasoned paddlers. Our camping will be at some State Park areas and private campgrounds, all along the river. Our trips range from one night to five nights depending on your preference. Although we list some predetermined trips, we can customize your trip to suit your goals and abilities. Riverside Canoe provides most of the camping gear and all of the necessary paddling equipment. Your guide is very experienced at paddling and camping and knows the river very well. This can be a “ learn as you go” experience for novice paddlers. More experienced paddlers can draw from the guide’s expertise and learn new paddling techniques or refine their own.
Our trips are available from April until the end of October.
Rates vary depending on the length of the trip.
