Kayakers needed for a swim race, to trail the swimmers, spot them, etc. Sat. October 17, 8:00-10:00 am. Race starts at the fishing pier at Latta Plantation Park, but it's easiest if you launch from Gar Creek access then paddle to the park. Be in position by 8:00 am launch time. Send me a comment if you can help out. The more the merrier - we can't have too many kayaks!

Can anyone tell me about the Glen Bridge River Park access on the French Broad River. I am planning on a trip on the 25th and would like to go out here. What is water like in this area?

July 3rd is coming up - can you believe it? We need to get in all the full moon paddling we can, not to mention the cookouts. This Friday is your chance for both. Come for just the cookout if you like. Please do rsvp under the events tab and add a comment if bringing a guest.
