Goshen Pass — one of the most spectacular river gorges in Virginia. The Maury River flows 60 miles through Rockbridge County, with the 3-mile Goshen Pass section delivering Class I–III whitewater through a dramatic mountain gap. The river passes VMI and Washington and Lee University in Lexington, making it one of the most historically rich paddling corridors in the Shenandoah Valley.

Data Quality

River conditions are community-verified. CFS ranges, difficulty ratings, and trip sections may not reflect every flow level or seasonal change. Always check current conditions, scout unfamiliar rapids, and paddle within your skill level. If you spot an error, use the Improve This River button at the top of the page — your local knowledge is what makes this atlas accurate.
