From the canoe launch at Arcadia, proceed downstream to the mouth of the Maury River near Glasgow. A concrete boat ramp on the Maury River is located just above its confluence with the James River. A difficult rapid below this ramp on the Maury River makes it unsuited for anything except canoe/kayaks. This is a relatively easy float with plenty of smallmouth bass to provide action. Flathead catfish can also be caught in this section.
