--My Notes
Kayak: Sea Kayak Malibu II (tandem kayak, me and wife)
Although it is not an official public landing, you can put in just below Charlottesville reservoir dam. Follow Rio Mills Road of Route 29 until just before it makes a sharp rights and heads up hill. There is a path on left side of road. It is about 100 yards down to river from this point. At this river level and discharge my wife and I had to get out several times and portage a couple of times. We actually flipped out one time as river was narrow and it pushed us toward bank with large tree branch sticking out at eye level. This caused us to flip. No big deal as water is only a couple of feet deep. We completed this section in about 3 hours. Easy take out at Darden Towe Park.
