Welcome to Howardsville Canoe Livery
Come on down to Howardsville where you can relax on the river and get away from the maddening crowd and enjoy the peace and quiet. We are an environmentally conscious company that embraces a leave no trace philosophy and promotes environmental stewardship of our rivers and their rich cultural heritage. We are knowledgeable of the history, geography, geology and fishing along the rivers we run.
"Plan canoeing, kayaking, tubing trips by the day or overnight with us on the James River in Virginia. We are a full service canoe livery that rents canoes and kayaks."
"Book a trip with Howardsville Canoe Livery and relax on the James, Rockfish or Tye Rivers. Individual, family or group tours can be arranged with your equipment or use ours. Shuttle service is available. Camp grounds will be open in the spring of 2012. Enjoy a relaxing day on the river."
