Coordinator’s Choice – Richmond, VA area
River choice will depend upon water levels. Possibilities may include the James in Richmond, VA (Pony Pasture to 14th St; class II-III+; approx 6 miles) or the Appomattox (Lake Chesdin dam to Petersburg, VA; class II-III; approx 7 miles). Cold water gear will be needed, as the water will be cold even if the air temps are warmer. Location and meeting time will be posted on CCC and Coastal Canoeists’ Facebook pages. Participants should contact the trip coordinator Jenny Wiley (jwiley.canoe@gmail.com) with any questions and/or if they would like to join us. See you on the river!
All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
