The Nelson Downriver
Canoe and Kayak Race Results



The 2001 race was held on the Tye and James rivers. Paddlers put-in on the Tye 100 yards above the confluence with Rucker's Run. They paddled 1.5 mi. to the confluence with the James and then 5.5 miles to the take-out at the Rt. 56 bridge at Wingina for a total of 7 miles.
Many thanks to Sue and Ethan Saliba for allowing us to use their property on the Tye River.
