Richmond has a whitewater play spot (several, actually) located right
around downtown on the James River.  Parts of it are pretty benign, but
there's also a section with rebar and other debris in it that it's a pretty
good idea to avoid.  However, the local paddlers seem to have a pretty
exhaustive and detailed knowledge of this, and so it's hard for me
to imagine that any of them would be there deliberately.
