Summer time is coming to an end, but you can still get out on the water and enjoy the cooler temperatures with the arrival of fall. If you don’t have your own boat or want to try something new, there are several outfitters located throughout the watershed that can supply you with everything you need in order to get out on the James River or one of its tributaries. Most of them offer trips and rentals through October.
