Bisset Park/Dudley's Landing

Bisset Park, also known as Dudley's Landing, is a whitewater access point located in Radford, Virginia on the New River. This site serves as a popular put-in and take-out for paddlers running whitewater sections of the New River, which features a mix of rapids and calmer pools depending on water levels and the specific section being paddled. The access provides direct entry to the river and is a key location for both day trips and multi-day paddling adventures on this scenic Virginia waterway.

The site is situated in an area with good public access infrastructure typical of popular whitewater paddling destinations. Paddlers using this access should be aware of current conditions on the New River, as water levels and flow rates can vary seasonally and daily. The New River corridor supports kayaking and canoeing with varying skill levels depending on which section is paddled, so boaters should verify conditions and their skill level alignment before launching.
