Foster Falls, Foster Falls, Virgina
During the summer, we make heavy use of this park for our Voyager Trek program as it's located on the New River.
There is a canoe livery with rentals; canoes, kayaks and tubes. For those with the canoeing skills, the livery can transport to Austinville for an easy run which includes the technical and ledgy Class II Shot Tower Rapids on the way back to the campground. About 4 miles of paddling. If considering running the falls (not recommended for the novice), River Left.
Food can be purchased at Ft. Chiswell, a small town about 8 miles out.
Sites for camping are plenty, which includes sites for groups, as well as camping on Baker's Island. Pit toilets, no showers, potable water is supplied via a communal water buffalo. During the summer, the weather is mild, and a nice break from the tidewater heat. Fishing is best below the falls.
