Rivanna River Company

The Rivanna River Company was founded in 2015 as Charlottesville’s first paddlesports outfitting service. We started the company to share our love of playing in the outdoors and to help connect Charlottesville with its beautiful river. We are dedicated to making adventures on the water inviting and accessible to people from all backgrounds. We offer rental equipment, shuttle service, guided trips, and skills instruction for canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding.

As we grow, we plan too add summer day camps, overnight river trips, outdoors skills clinics, and environmental education programs to our offerings. Our vision is a healthy Rivanna River enjoyed, embraced and valued by the people of Charlottesville.
