RiverCam is UP !Thanks to the help of volunteers from Dominion Virginia Power, we now have the Rappahannock RIVERCAM web camera available to all on the web. It's REMOTE CONTROLLED, so you can pan, tilt and digitally zoom. It is located on the stretch of river flowing past our headquarters in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Great for checking water levels, clarity, etc. Slide up the volume slider, and listen to the water and the birds ! Access the RIVERCAM. The RIVERCAM is part of the Rappahannock River Water Trail Orientation Center, funded by the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network.
