Brittany & Vince's 2nd Trip - Rappahannock


A self-supported trip created by Vince-McKamy

Trip Overview

This trip was our 2nd section on our trip down the Rappahannock river, Today we put in at Hunting Run and kayaked down to Motts Run, the trip took us about 3hrs 45 mins, with light paddling. There was about a dozen or so small rapid areas which made the trip a good adventure. My daughter and I are beginner kayakers and had little to no issues making this run and had a lot of fun. Need to scout out the Motts run launch - a little tough to see from the water, would hate to miss your exit spot.

Portage Notes

Motts run is a small launch area, glad we drove our pick up vehicle there first and looked around, we could have easily kayaked right by this place. Make sure that you look at this spot before trying to get out on this one.
