James River Batteau Festival 2026

For a history of batteaux with photos: https://www.scottsvillemuseum.org/202... The boats run the rapids at Hatton Ferry before pulling into Scottsville for the night. Low water this year, a bony river, so lots of bumping and scraping all the way from Lynchburg. After showers, live music, hot meals and local brews at the taverns. At dawn they head out again on their way to Richmond.
