Cross Creek: The World of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Paddle through the wild landscapes that inspired Pulitzer Prize–winning author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Explore the charming Cross Creek and scenic portions of Orange and Lochloosa Lakes—places that have changed little since Rawlings wrote classics like The Yearling and Cross Creek in the early 1900s.

This easy, beginner-friendly tour includes basic paddling lessons. You’ll paddle downstream before returning against a gentle current.
