Cool Down on the Little River at FloydFest!
We’re excited to announce that our partnership with On the Water in Floyd has grown — this year we are offering five opportunities to escape to the water for a few hours of paddling and floating down a gorgeous, undeveloped stretch of the Little River in Floyd County, with small whitewater (not even Class I) suitable for all ages.
Trips include a 45-minute shuttle (via school bus) from the festival to the Little River, 2 to 2.5 hours on the water, and a fully catered BBQ lunch with local produce and all the sides and fixins! Trips meet at the front gate of FloydFest.

Announcing the Belcher Mountain Beat Down!
A Guided Floyd Fest Mountain Bike Journey
Through a partnership with Pembroke, Va.-based Tangent Outdoors and the Moonstompers Bike Club, FloydFest is happy to announce an all-new GUIDED mountain bike tour that descends the Blue Ridge and finishes with miles of hand-built single-track trail! The 16-mile route includes 1700’ of elevation gain and 3500’ of descending.
We will ride as a group from FloydFest through gorgeous Virginia countryside to the spine of Belcher Mountain, where we’ll descend via rugged trail to the valley below before reaching a course with miles of creek crossings on the way to the I.C. Deerheart park in Woolwine. At the ride’s end, we’ll enjoy a catered lunch and shuttle service back to FloydFest.
The ride will take 2 to 3 hours. Riders are required to bring their own bicycle. The Belcher Mountain Beat-Down is not recommended for beginner mountain bikers. However, beginners should feel free to participate — the I.C. Deerheart Park includes 15 miles of friendly trails to explore at your leisure. Those wishing to ride only this part of the journey may attend and ride the shuttle each way.
We will depart FloydFest at 10 am on Saturday and return by 2 pm. Meet at the FloydFest front gate.
Cost per rider is $30 and includes lunch. Proceeds after cost will be donated to the I.C. Deerheart Memorial Park Trail Fund. Participation is limited to 25 riders.
