With the James River rising get to know the James River Protocols
Know the rules of the river and make sure you know how high the river is going to get before heading out.
The picture above was taken on Belle Isle around 11 AM today. It was at roughly 13′ or Minor Flood Stage but was impressive none-the-less. Did you know that the James River Park System has a set of protocols they follow, driven by how high the James River will be? Those protocols are listed below.
You cand the height of the river at the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service website. As you can see the river is predicted to break that 14-foot mark sometime in the early morning hours. This could limit access to Belle Isle.
