About This Access Site
Southside Takeout is a whitewater take-out access point on the James River in Richmond, Virginia. As a take-out location, this site is designed for paddlers to exit the water after completing a whitewater run, making it an essential endpoint for kayakers and canoeists paddling the James River sections. The James River through Richmond features a mix of Class II and Class III rapids that attract paddlers of varying skill levels, and this takeout provides a convenient spot to land and recover boats after navigating downstream sections.
