    Tom McEwan is a beast on the river! He has been all over the world in a kayak and been instrumental in getting countless people in kayaks!! Way to go Tom!

    My dream is to kayak the great falls, and I'm blessed it's only a few hours away from me. Another hidden gem is in Richmond, VA Red Bull. Hollywood rapid is one of the few class IV+ rapids that run through a major city.

      Be careful. Great falls is very dangerous and shouldn't be ran by an inexperienced kayaker. It's claimed many lives..

    Great falls is not in dc lol. It’s just outside of DC. great falls is the border of Maryland and Virginia. If u keep going down the river for like 5 miles you will end up in dc

      Great Falls is a town that's right next to Vienna and Tysons Corner. The area is amazing, and it was very fun to kayak down, yet still challenging.
