YOTT: NC Trail Days Weekend Festival in Eden: Paddle on the Smith & Dan

901 River Drive,Eden NC 27288

22 April, 2023

Description

Looking for paddling fun on moving -- but not moving too much -- water? This beginner-oriented paddle is a great introduction to river kayaking. From the Island Ford Access on the Smith River in Eden, the first two-thirds of a mile is a series of fun riffles and Class I rapids to negotiate, and pools to kick back and float. Along the way, paddle under a suspension bridge, beneath a 30-foot bluff and through a forest of mature hardwoods. The finish is on the calm waters of the Dan River.
