The Elizabeth River is highly urbanized and difficult to access, hence the purple markers on the map.

I've marked the three starting and ending points in the videos below, but I would strongly recommend against all of them. The lower part of the Elizabeth River is bulkheaded for much of its length, more of a storm drain than a river, and the Arthur Kill looks filthy and a little dangerous. The videos are interesting, but I don't ever want to go there myself. The upper reaches of the Elizabeth River might be nice, although I don't see any obvious access points, and there are a number of weirs that could be a problem.

This site varies, depending on when you go there. During the summer, and especially on weekends, there can be a lot of motorboats around. Other times, you can have the whole place to yourself.
