Outfitters

[Phil Lilley]

Is http://www.jamesriveroutfitters.com/ the only outfitters on the James? I was thinking there was a place in Hootentown to rent canoes.

Can't find anything on the web.

There's a 3rd one. They seem to move around a bit but were in business this summer.

Nope still around, or were in the summer. After the convenience store went down they moved around the corner and were doing business out of a camper trailer. I saw them launching canoes at Kerr's in July. The web-site's still up.

Yea Y bridge canoe is still around but they switched owners and the canoes are looking pretty ratty now but hey they float. But i dont think they have all the access points that James River Outfitters do.

Hooten town is still around also but they close for the winter

James River Outfitters is a really good rental Gary Benahm is the owner of JRO, His son and grand kids usually run it and are some of the nicest people around they usually do special rates on multiple canoes and you are way less likely to have your car broken into going through them because their campground that you leaver your car at is gated and there is always people there watching out they have showers and bathrooms with full rv hookups to boot.
