Madison Heights Vacation Rentals
On the Amherst County side of the James River, directly across the water from downtown Lynchburg.
Madison Heights sits on the north bank of the James, which puts downtown Lynchburg a bridge away and the river itself at the end of the road. Riveredge Park is the launch point for most of what people come to do here.
The Upper James runs class I and II through this stretch, gentle enough for a first time in a canoe, and the Blue Ridge is a short drive west.
