Hi Doogie, and welcome to the forum. There should be plenty of good used canoes on the Richmond Craigslist. If you want a new boat, check out the Appomattox River Company. Their main store is in Farmville, and well worth the trip. They used to have a satellite location near Ashland, but I am not sure it still exists.
Doogie, welcome to site membership! Feel free to ask any questions and to post messages, photos and videos, and to start threads, in our many forums. Please read Welcome to CanoeTripping and Site Rules! Also, because canoeing is a geographic sport, please add your location to the Account Details page in your profile, which will cause it to show under your avatar as a clickable map link. Many of the site's technical features are explained in Features: Help and How-To Running Thread. We look forward to your participation in our canoe community.
Hello and welcome Doogie, yes like UCanoe_2 said. Starting out with a good used canoe is a great way to figure out what you like while saving some bucks. And Appomattox River Company is only an hour and half from you. It's fun to go drool, slobber and cry on some nice expensive new canoes. I do that in Knoxville TN at River Sports. They hate cleaning up after I visit.

Welcome. A word of caution when taking advice from this group: Many of us lack self control so we buy and/or build multiple boats. I'll look forward to following along as you build your fleet (and your fleet storage).
Hey! You talking about me? I've only made 2, so far.

Maybe I should have said "not that there's anything wrong with that..." (I spaced the trusses of my carport at 3 feet so that I could more easily store one canoe between each set of trusses)
