Description

The official take-out is a boat ramp located in the mouth of Rocky Row Run, a small creek that flows in above Snowden Dam. To access the take-out paddlers must paddle into the mouth of the creek and pass under US 501/130.

From the put-in, turn right on Rt. 130 (over the Maury River) and take a right at the stop sign (Rt. 501). Go over the mountain (several roadside spots to see down the gorge) until you see the James at road level. There are several take-out options here, but the politically correct take-out is at the public boat ramp in Snowden (before the dam) on the left side of the road.
