After that stretch, the river widened and shot off into smaller arms to be explored. While navigable, this stretch required lots of weaving through fallen trees and limbs courtesy of Hurricane Isabel no doubt.
I paddled through a small straight area for approximately 1/4 mile. My destination was the Nature Conservancy platform erected at the mouth of the Pocaty as it feeds into the North Landing River, a round trip of only about 5 miles. We spoke for a few moments and I was off, heading almost due East. Free and accessible, what more could I ask for? I encountered a lone fisherman trying his luck at the bridge. I was very happy at finding an open spot and with no formal boat ramp, thus avoiding a ramp fee. There was plenty of room for parking four or even five vehicles on the road's shoulder. My launch site was a small bridge over the Pocaty River on Blackwater Road in rural Virginia Beach. The Pocaty is a tributary of the larger and longer, North Landing River.
Sunday afternoon was the perfect day for a short trip on the Pocaty River here in Southern Virginia Beach, Virginia.
