    big large river location in mountains surrounding the river bottom and valley area. Space to do canoeing and kayaking.

    Amazing place to stay. We stayed in lodge number 16 and were so impressed with the accommodation, the river, trails, staff...everything. Wonderful, wonderful getaway. The lodge was clean and had a gas log fireplace. So open and cozy. Rocking chairs and picnic table on the back porch overlooking the forest. A trail right out our back door that connected with other very well marked trails. The river was so cool. Wide and shallow. Would love to come back in the summer and tube it with the kids. The kitchen was well stocked. Everything was wonderful.

    Beautiful place for camping, outdoors activity . RV campground it's nice and clean.Nice trails for biking, hiking. At night beautiful sky with the stars. Really nice place for vacation.

    Beautiful hiking trails with lots of wildlife. Campsites are spaced nicely, bath houses clean and functional.

    So much to do here from renting a kayak or tube to float the James River, bike, hike or horseback ride.

    We just recently moved our boat here from Lake Gaston, this is only our second year boating so we…read moreare pretty new to this. The staff is always so helpful and friendly especially Kevin Bowe. He's always willing to go above and beyond and he is such a friendly and nice guy. There's plenty of options for dining that you can boat to and even the other boaters are nice and helpful.

    We booked a fishing trip to go Striper fishing 6 people all together and we booked our trip several…read moremonths in advance. The morning we got there was cold rainy but we were dressed for the weather no big deal So we make our way down to this boat with our captain. I take a look at the pontoon we are getting on and I'm telling my husband it's too small 6 people in our group and then you have a Captain and his mate so 8 people on a 21 ft pontoon. But we are here so we are going to make the best of it right we was all excited. Some of the people in our group have never fished before. So instead of the Captain explaining himself what is happening he proceeds to take off flying down the river and then gets to a spot and starts putting poles in the water so fish start biting right away! And right away he starts screaming at people get up grab a pole you guys wanna fish right. So I did I was the first to jump up and grab poles meanwhile you could hardly walk around I think we had 9-10 poles in the water and he had about 12 or so sitting in on the side of the boat also so literally no room it was a hazard the captain was very rude and would constantly make several rude jokes about people from WV. The mate or the helper I'm not sure of the correct title he's uses his name was Mark and he was great with us all. He helped get fish off our lines and rebait any questions he was so helpful. Jim was our captain. And we will never book another fishing trip with him! We was truly disappointed in what was suppose to be a really fun trip. We did manage to catch a lot of fish to being home. I hope on our next adventure there is a positive one. . The good part we caught alot of fish and Mark was an amazing guy who helped us all. They also have a nice little store at the Marina that has clothes and snacks and prices aren't too bad. The guy in there was very nice also. We bought some rain gear. So we will most definitely visit again but will not recommend going with Jim.
