A10 Paddling Club - Pocahontas State Park

  • Pocahontas State Park 10301 State Park Road Chesterfield, VA, 23832 United States (map)

A10 paddlers (re)unite! Join us out on the water as we bring back last year's hit and paddle Swift Creek Lake at Pocahontas State Park. Contrary to the name, the gentle current of the creek/lake will not carry you away swiftly. Expect ~2 hours of casual paddling as we paddle to the Swift Creek Dam and back. This is an easy paddling adventure fit for all levels of kayakers, paddleboarders, and canoers so bring (or rent*) your vessel and join us for a few hours on the water.

While you're at it, might I suggest making it a full day and earning more Summer of Fun badges? Zach and Rachel Woolard will be hosting several other events at the state park throughout the day so join us for a day of fun at Pocahontas State Park!

Meet at the Pocahontas State Park Boat Ramp. Parking is available at the boat ramp, but the lot is fairly small. Additional parking is available near the park pool.

*Kayak, paddle board, and canoe rentals are available at the park for $15/hour.

Event Leader: Mark Eason - marke329521@gmail.com

Cost Associated: $10/vehicle to enter the park (good all day)
