RiverRat Spotlight - John Mays

RiverRat John Mays manages to combines business with pleasure! As the owner of Twin River Outfitters, a paddlesport rental business on the Upper James, he is out on the river all the time!

John says he became a RiverRat “to help develop the river access points on the Upper James and to ensure that it is as clean and trash free as possible.” John knows that a clean river is both good for business and the environment. 

“I routinely patrol the section of the Upper James from Buchanan to Arcadia.  It’s a 6 mile section of water downstream of our store.  It has fun rapids, is very remote, and awesome Blueridge Mountain views.” Along the way he picks up litter. He says the best thing about being a RIverRats is getting to know other dedicated river folks.


To help more people get out on the river, Twin River Outfitters offers JRA members 10% off any rental, river trip or shuttle service (excluding retail merchandise.) If you’re in Buchanan Stop by and visit John and Twin River Outfitters at 653 Lowe Street or online atwww.canoevirginia.net.
