Meeting in Buchanan VA 9:00 ~ 9:30 Saturday June 17th.

Float:
Horseshoe Bend to Springwood
Distance: 2.8 miles

Horseshoe Bend is adjacent to
Rt. 43 and consists of a concrete boat ramp. Shallow, fast water at this boat ramp makes launching difficult. A canoe launching area is present at Springwood (under the Rt. 630 bridge). Boats have to be carried to the river at this site. This float has a long series of deep pools and relatively long riffles. The fast water is not exceptionally difficult to navigate. Smallmouth bass are numerous and rock bass are common. It is also possible to hook into a musky on this float.

Camping is an option:
Forest service campground near Arcadia we could stay at and do two floats if we want to.
