Canoeing and Kayaking
Recreational opportunities are limited to some bridge crossings, state boat ramps, and canoe access areas. No permits are required.
Boat ramps can be found at Routes 611 (Joyner's Bridge Rd) and 603 off Route 258 in Isle of Wight County.
A new double-lane boat ramp with paved parking will be open in the City of Franklin in the spring of 2007.
Canoe access can be found off of Rt. 619 (Burdette), Rt. 189 (S. Quay), and Rt. 620 (Broadwater Br.), but beware of vehicle parking restrictions. If you are putting in at Rt. 620 speak with landowner across the street.
