The Swift Creek Reservoir and the James River are an integral part of our identity at the Boathouse. The magnificent views of the sunset over the lake and of the city skyline behind the river are part of what makes dining at the Boathouse special for our guests. In support of these wonderful Virginia waterways, the Boathouse will be featuring special menu items, with a portion of the proceeds from these Watershed Specials going to support efforts to preserve the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

The first Watershed Specials are two popular seasonal appetizer, featuring local ingredients: the Hanover Caprese Salad and the Blue Crab & Grits. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the Watershed Specials at the Boathouse at Sunday Park will be donated to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. As stated on their website, www.cbf.org, the mission of the foundation is to “Save the Bay and keep it saved” through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Donations from the sales at the Boathouse at Rocketts Landing will go to the Friends of the James River Park. Beginning at the Huguenot Bridge in the West, the James River Park system includes over 550 acres of shoreline and islands in downtown Richmond. The mission of the Friends is to ”provide an ongoing source of citizen support for the conservation, enhancement and enjoyment of the James River Parks and their natural and historic environments.” www.jamesriverpark.org/friends

“Both the James River and Swift Creek Reservoir are part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed,” says Boathouse owner Kevin Healy. “It’s vital that we protect and preserve Virginia’s waterways so we can continue to enjoy their beauty.”
