OCT Sat Aug 14 Smith River in Bassett

Post by Raymond »

On Saturday, August 14, I am coordinating a trip on the Smith River in Virginia (Philpott Dam to Bassett) which is a Class 2 section just over 6 miles and about 2 ½ hours. The water is cool (50 degree range), and it’s a scenic section with several play spots. The releases have been at the lower levels recently 200 – 300 CFS.

We will meet at 11:00 a.m at the takeout (North Bassett Canoe Access) at Trenthill Drive in Bassett, Virginia.

We are putting in on the Franklin County side of the river which is off of Rt. 772, not off of Rt. 57, so just meet us at the take out for shuttle.
