Description
The James River at the The James River/Otter Creek Recreation Area MP 60.9 on the Blue Ridge Parkway
The James River has been a major transportation artery through Virginia for centuries. Although originally planned to provide a navigable waterway from Great Falls at Richmond to the Ohio River, the James River and Kanawha Canal was destined to extend no further west than Buchanan. When completed in 1851, it was the primary commercial route in the state. But civil war, floods, and railroads spelled disaster for the canal, causing it to fail within the next thirty years. Near the James River Visitor Center, visitors can see one of the restored canal locks.
