About this event

This is one of our favorite rivers. There is one rapid, the rest of the river is fairly mild.   75 mi. from TC. We'll have a leisurely lunch along the way, so bring a chair. Bowman Bridge to Upper Branch Bridge. Appox. 13 miles and 4 hrs. Very easy with a sand bottom, rocky in areas with lots of riffles. Senior park pass or $5/car. Bring something to sit on.  Be ready to shuttle at 11:00.
