Popular tubing and canoe section. Located near popular area outfitters. Park is downstream from River Girl Fishing Co. and directly across the river from Riverkeeper supporter River and Earth Adventures. Island is half a mile long with a fishable channel on each side of it.
Todd’s position directly on the South Fork of the New River is an important part of its past and present. The even grade along the river made for an excellent railroad route and has become a well-known bike and running route today. Residents and visitors can enjoy its natural beauty as the river slowly flows by farms, meadows, and woodlands providing animal and fish habitats. Paddlers, tubers and fishermen and women enjoy the outdoor recreation that the river provides.
