James River Runners Activities
Canoeing
Enjoy the James on a relaxing canoe. Canoe for a few hours or take a muli-day trip. Excellent swimming and picnicking opportunities and the scenery is AAA!
Tubing
Our 3 mile river tube trip winds through beautiful rural countryside, and has a nice set of novice rapids as well as several great islands to stop and enjoy.
Rafting
Grab a group of friends and explore the river together on an inflatable raft. A great way for a small group to spend the day on the river.
Kayaking
Some of the most fun you can have on any river is in a kayak. Kayaks are fast, easy to maneuver and available for ages 10 and up.
Camping
Setup your campsite right on the James either as a standalone camping adventure or combine it with our other river activities.
Fishing
Fishing on the James River is must for every angler. James River Runners offers full day, part day and overnight fishing excursions.
