Favorite Scottsville Features
Tubing on the James River is a great way to cool off in the summer time. A number of local Scottsville companies offer tubing, rafting, canoeing, and fishing rentals. Even better than renting the equipment–bring your own!
The Scottsville Farmer’s Market features local food, music, and crafts in the town’s historic district. Homemade baked goods, fresh produce and eggs, artisan cheeses, and handmade apparel are some of the favorite items on display.
