Table of Contents

The James River Association has announced a series of new guided river trips as part of its "Connect with the James" program.

The trips are planned in the Metro Richmond region as well as in the Lynchburg and Williamsburg areas and are open to the public.

In the Richmond region, the program will offer pontoon boat cruises featuring a chance for participants to watch Atlantic sturgeon breach and learn how to sketch the river, while also learning about the JRA's river restoration efforts.

“We’re excited to resume our Connect with the James programming for 2024 and offer some wonderful opportunities to enjoy the James,” said Mike Lyden, JRA’s assistant director of operations. “Whether you take a paddle trip in the Lower James or join us for a pontoon boat excursion closer to Richmond, these trips provide the perfect blend of getting on the water, learning about your surroundings, and protecting the river.”
