Description

A goat on a boat is part of the seal for the Town of Cramerton which is a historic mill town that is now an emerging outdoor lifestyle community with trails, parks and the South Fork River along its border. Explore this charming small town on the river with Catawba Riverkeeper! This guided kayak trip is a great way to experience the largest tributary of the Catawba River along a gentle flowing section of water that can be easily traveled upstream, downstream and around Goat Island. 

This trip meets at the Riverkeeper's Confluence location in Cramerton and launches onto the water just yards away. We will have an easy paddle for roughly an hour and return to where we launched onto the water.  Riverkeeper staff will host and introduction to kayaking clinic on land and in the water while we paddle.
