Join us for a kayaking adventure on Saturday, June 7th at Landsford Canal State Park, where the Catawba River transforms into a sea of white Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies.
This natural spectacle, visible only from mid-May to mid-June, offers a unique paddling experience through the world’s largest known stand of these stunning flowers. After our paddle, we’ll head back toward Charlotte and decide on a local spot for dinner.
