Less than 5 miles away is one of Virginia's most cherished natural wonders, The Natural Bridge. Rockbridge County derives its name from the formation. George Washington surveyed the area for Lord Fairfax and Thomas Jefferson purchased the "rock bridge" from King George III for twenty shillings, on July 4, 1774, to ensure it was available to the public. The Natural Bridge has enormous proportions. It is described as being 90 feet long, 150 feet wide at one end and 50 feet wide at another.
Rockbridge County has just about every type of self-propelled boating experiences one could want, from placid floats on the James River and middle Maury River, to Virginia's most popular whitewater run on the upper Maury through Goshen Pass. CLICK HERE TO BOOK WITH TWIN RIVER OUTFITTERS & SAVE 5%
