December 17, 2006. Notes and photos on the Appomattox River page.
May 14,
2005. The Colonial Heights access point to Swift Creek is located only a
couple of miles from my mother-in-law's house. So for this weekend's visit
I brought the kayak and did a little early Saturday morning paddling. The
kayak was in the water by 6am and I began paddling down Swift Creek against the
incoming tide. I rounded the horn at Conjour's Neck, then paddled into the
confluence with the Appomattox
River. I paddled a short way up the
Appomattox before turning around. The paddle back up Swift Creek was with
the incoming tide, so I was able to trim ten minutes off the return trip.
Really overcast and gray, so the photos are less than remarkable, but it was
nice paddling a new spot.
