The Blackwater River flows from Petersburg VA into NC. We paddle the section just south of Zuni VA, where we can see virgin Bald Cypress over 400 years old. The Nature Conservancy owns some of the lands along the River we travel although form the river you do not see much land. It is a swampy terrain. The River is lined with bald cypress, water tupelos, red maples, and persimmon trees. Half-day and All-day trips available.
