As you can see from the Westham guide above the river was at about six feet on Saturday. Anytime the river is over five feet you need to be wearing a life jacket if you are going into the river. You should also probably wear a life jacket if you are messing around near the river that can lead to you falling into the river.

From RTD:

Three people were rescued Saturday after they fell into the James River, Richmond fire officials said.

Crews brought the three people to shore about 8:30 p.m. from an area north of the Huguenot Bridge near the Pony Pasture rapids.
