Big South Fork NRRA
Top Picks
Canoe the South Fork
The winter thaw and runoff creates Class I through Class IV rapids--some falls will be too dangerous to cross and you should be prepared to portage. Paddle the section above Leatherwood Ford from New River put-in, passing such rapids as Washing Machine, Double Falls and Jake's Hole. This run offers some of the wildest and most remote whitewater in the eastern United States. Before leaving, stop by one of the interesting rock formations, such as Needle Arch or Twin Arches.

Camp Bandy Creek
Bandy Creek Campground is situated in the heart of the Big South Fork with four sections, one of which is exclusively for tent campers (noRVs!). You can let the hot showers flow after an active day exploring the Big South Fork on the hiking and biking trails that depart from the campground.
Hike the John Litton Farm Trail
Of the 150 miles of trails in the area, we suggest you take the John Litton Farm Trail, which departs from Bandy Creek and passes by the pioneer homestead of John Litton. It's a great 6-mile loop that takes you to Fall Branch Falls and back.
