Join us for a guided kayaking eco-tour of the South Fork River at Spencer Mountain on Saturday, July 13th. Alisa arranged this private paddle for club members with the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation.
All Experience Levels Welcome: Expect class one and two rapids, depending on the water level and flow. Guides will help novice kayakers navigate the rapids, and we’ll take breaks along the way.
How to Find Us: Meet us at the Catawba Riverkeeper Boathouse at 10 AM (115 Willow Dr, McAdenville, NC 28056). Our guide will shuttle us (and kayaks/equipment) to the put-in at Spencer Mountain.
Cost (fees paid directly to Catawba Riverkeeper):
- Guided tour and kayak/equipment renal: $43.06
- Guided tour (bring your own kayak/equipment): $27.30
Guest Policy: Club members may bring one guest each. When beginning the registration process through our website, include your guest’s name, email, phone number, and emergency contact information.
Registration: Click the blue register button on this page to begin the registration process. You will receive an automated confirmation email immediately from club@CLTsnow.com; however, keep your eye on your inbox over the next one to two business days for another email. The second confirmation email will include instructions and a link to pay through Catawba Riverkeeper’s private event page. You are not officially registered for the event until you complete registration with Catawba Riverkeeper.
Kayaks and Equipment: Rental equipment is included in the $40 fee. If you bring your own kayak, keep in mind that kayaks with thin shells (like Pelican) are easily damaged by rocks. PFDs are required. Catawba Riverkeeper will provide a PFD if you don’t have one.
Other Essentials: Pack lunch, snacks, and water. Wear a hat and sunscreen.
Event Cancellation: Catawba Riverkeeper needs at least six participants registered by June 29th to host the event. This event may also be canceled with a 24-hour notice via email from Catawba Riverkeeper due to rain, storms, water flow, and/or other water safety factors monitored by their scientists.
