Open Sunrise to Sunset
Waynesboro Water Trail is the newest edition to the city's park system. The completion of the boat ramps at Ridgeview, Rife, North, and Basic parks allow for easy access to the South River. Put-in your canoe or kayak at Ridgeview Park and paddle the Virginia Scenic River 4 miles to the convenient take-out at Basic Park. Shorter trips can be taken if desired by utilizing other river accesses along the water trail. This stretch of the river is perfect for beginners or those looking for an easy paddle. Paddlers can expect to encounter class I and class II rapids along the way and enjoy a different perspective of this river city.
Paddle responsibly.
