Lodge Landing

Lodge Landing provides boat access to the Yeocomico River, a medium-sized tidal river in Northumberland County. The river extends 7.59 miles in this section and flows toward the Potomac River, located approximately 93 miles downstream. With an average flow of about 68 cubic feet per second and very low gradient, the Yeocomico offers calm, slow-moving water suitable for recreational boating.

The site is located in Callao, a small community on Virginia's Northern Neck peninsula. Given the river's characteristics—zero elevation change, minimal velocity of 0.69 feet per second, and tidal influence as a coastal river system—paddlers and boaters can expect relatively gentle conditions. The 68-square-mile drainage area indicates a moderately-sized watershed system that provides consistent water levels throughout the year.

This access point is suitable for recreational fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and small motorboat operation. The slow current and calm nature of the river make it accessible to paddlers of varying skill levels. Before visiting, check local tide tables and current conditions, as tidal rivers in this region can experience significant water level changes throughout the day.
