River District Canal Cruises

Enjoy 40-minute historically narrated tours of the James River and Kanawha Canal along the historic Canal Walk. These covered boats accommodate up to 35 passengers and depart on the hour from the Turning Basin in downtown Richmond’s River District.

Richmond’s canals were first begun in 1789 after George Washington lobbied the General Assembly to proceed with his vision of a canal and turnpike system that would connect the harbors of the east to the trade and market opportunities in the west.
