Welcome To The 2012 O:CR Riverbender Website!
Imagine yourself fishing on a kayak while floating down this peaceful six mile trail on one of the oldest
rivers in the world. As you are winding your way through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in
Virginia, you seek the destination of now what is called our own private O:CR Beach. This new O:CR
Riverbender adventure weekend that we started in 2010 was so successful, that it is now a keeper on
The O:CR calendar. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, then please join us on this historic designated
American Heritage River as we continue to raise ovarian cancer awareness.
