The James River is Virginia’s largest river, flowing across the entire state. It begins in the mountains at the confluence of the Cowpasture and Jackson Rivers and ends at the Chesapeake Bay. The James is Virginia’s largest tributary to the Chesapeake Bay. It is 340 miles long and is fed by 25,000 miles of tributaries, which makes it one of the longest rivers in America that begins and ends in the same state. Paddling the James offers a variety of experiences from flat-water canoeing to whitewater rafting and from rural to urban. The Falls of the James at Richmond drop 105 feet over seven miles. This offers a Class I to Class V whitewater rafting experience, and represents the only white water that cuts through the heart of an urban area.

Walk Ride Paddle book by Senator Tim Kaine

About the Author: Senator Tim Kaine

“In 2019, Tim Kaine—Virginia Senator and former Democratic vice presidential candidate—commemorated both his sixtieth birthday and his twenty-fifth year in public office by undertaking a three-part journey across the Virginia landscape as he hiked, cycled, and canoed across the state. His chronicle of the journey became an organic reflection of the extraordinary events occurring across America during that time, including impeachment trials, a global pandemic, growing racial protests, the January 6th attack on the Capitol, and more.

 

Walk, Ride, Paddle is a captivating and compelling memoir of one man’s physical journey through the Virginia wilderness—but it is also a unique and ultimately optimistic perspective on these pivotal moments in history, offering inspiration, wisdom, and hope.”
