If you have wanted your family to paddle at the USNWC, but have children who are not old enough for rafting, we are your answer. Our minimum age is four years old and we have yet to find our maximum age, but based on experience, we know it is well over 70!
If you want to paddle at USNWC but are not interested in an adrenaline rush, we can help you there too. With no whitewater rapids to worry about, you can focus on taking in the scenery and enjoying the serenity of the Catawba River.
The wildlife we have seen on our tours include:
Here is a picture of one of our most frequently seen form of wildlife.
He is a great blue heron we call Walker. Yes, I named him. He received his moniker because he prefers not to fly away when you get too close. Instead he will wander into the woods until we pass by, or in this case move into a near by tree. He stands about five feet tall and has a wingspan of over seven feet yet weighs only 6 pounds!
If history floats your boat (or kayak in our case), our guides have lots of stories about the Catawba River and its unique impact on our region.
If you have never been Kayaking before, don't worry. Our experienced guides will help you with your paddle strokes and have you exploring the river with confidence.
Our boat launch is just a short walk from the Kayak Check-in building and there are miles of shoreline to explore. Call us at 704.391.3900 to book your adventure.
