Despite the title, this is a fairly easy park n' grab down in historic Scottsville, Virginia! The cache is not inside any of the boats (the town uses these for storage)
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the town of Scottsville, Virginia prospered as a major trading point for goods traveling up and down the James River. In later years, travel on the river diminished and the town was plagued by flooding. Now protected by a levee, the town is enjoying a renaissance and is rediscovering its important role in helping to build the nation.
To celebrate its history and its relationship with the river, the town of Scottsville built the Canal Basin Square. Designed by Charlottesville Landscape Architect Nancy Takahashi, the interpretive park chronicles the inextricable connection of Scottsville to the James River. Exhibits span the period from the early river batteaux of the pre-colonial period to the days of packet boats and freighters on the Kanawha Canal.
Canal Basin Square is also a Virginia Civil War trails site!
