I can't believe that this amazing park has never been added to Yelp before. Ridgeview Park (RP) is…read more85-acres full of wonderful amenities. When I climbed out of my van the other day, all I could see was green everywhere. Kids could run around the grassy fields forever and not get bored. The hills were extremely tempting to my youngest son who had to run up them and then roll down. Beautiful trees, lovely flowers, a gorgeous view of the mountains--but the best part was the river. You are able to walk up to the water's edge and play with the rocks. Here are some features: * Amphitheater * Baseball/Softball Diamond * Basketball Court * Soccer Field * Tennis Courts * Trails (there are supposed to be trails in the woods, but I didn't get a chance to check them out) * Playground * Picnic tables and grills * Restrooms * Serenity Garden * Swimming Pool * Fishing in the South River throughout the park (trout, bass, perch, bluegill, and catfish) * Handicap-Accessible Fishing Pier I was here for vacation and I always try to look for parks. I found RP online and it was way better than I ever imagined it would be. In fact, I kind of started to fall in love with it and Waynesboro. My boys and I greatly enjoyed our short time at RP and I highly recommend you visit. I wish RP was closer to my house.

This is, I think, one of the better parks in the Waynesboro and Charlottesville area. Plenty of…read moreplayground equipment for the kids to play on. Lots of fields and area to run. You can stop down at the river and feed the ducks and geese. The kids love it here. My only issue from our most recent visit was the garbage all over the park. All of the trash cans were completely filled and overflowing. Trash around the picnic tables. Yuck. Let's keep our parks beautiful, people!

We went canoeing today and had a wonderful experience! We got there a bit early (9:20) but they…read moreopened right on time at 9:30 for us to pick up our canoes. The drive over to the start of our day trip was pleasant in an air conditioned van and the guide driving us pointed out baby deer and an eagle's nest which was awesome. The canoeing day itself was beautiful and the trip was just the right length for us. There were four adults in our group-- I think with kids you would want to ask for a closer drop off point because it was a LOT of paddling. The canoes were nice and they helped us carry them down to the launch point and gave us a run down of the rapids we would pass which was helpful to avoid overly shallow or rocky areas. We were the only ones canoeing that day which was so nice! I would love to do this again in the fall when the leaves are changing!

There is ample shade so during the hot summer months, you're sheltered from the sun. We camped right on the water at Campsite 6 hearing the river as we slept. We could have camped up a bit as the site is large. We could swim from the site. Floating down the James River rafting was super beautiful and relaxing. Any age can do this really. Water was low but still fun.

Stephen was great! Not only did he load and unload all our boats, he also emphasized safety, was…read morehilarious, and was basically a tour guide on the ride to and from the river. The scenery was beautiful, the gear was well-maintained, and the 7-mile kayaking route was both relaxing and a decent challenge. Keep in mind that you must have shoes with a closed or strapped heel (no slides or flip flops). It comes in handy. And make sure you have sunscreen, a hat, maybe some sleeves, and snacks/water. In the fall, the water can be low. There will be obstacles, but follow their tips and you should be able to navigate around them (or over them... the "scoot" technique was key). It may not be easy but it will be gratifying! The rapids aren't too rough on a nice fall day, but you may need to work to get out of shallow parts. The faster flows are a really good time but it's not like whitewater rafting or anything. Most of the trip was like a lazy river, but with some quick, low rapids to make it a little spicy (in a good way). The water was clear with lots of fish, birds, and beautiful leaves about. Would absolutely go again!

As a dad, planning this kind of trip comes with a lot of moving parts... and a little bit of overthinking. Thankfully, Twin River Outfitters made it all easy. Robert gave us a great orientation and walked us through the whole course like seasoned river guides (which we definitely are not). We booked the glamping tents and took full advantage of their kitchen box, firewood, and luggage service--which meant we could have an awesome adventure without needing a crash course in ultralight backpacking. It was a perfect balance of the outdoors and just enough comfort to keep everyone smiling.

We caught more fish than I could count, including several nice smallmouth bass, and some large sunnies. Brian was an excellent guide who put me on the fish, let me switch between spinning rods and fly rods, sorted me out when I got hung up, and engaged with me with some great conversation. The boat was top notch and was the perfect vessel for fishing a river like the Shenandoah too - it's got a jet propulsion engine that gets you anywhere you need to go, and Brian is ready on the oars to always ensure you are facing in the direction of the fish. I definitely plan to do another trip with Rivergoat in the future!
