Description

Experience the thrill of Class 1 and 2 rapids as you paddle 5.5 miles through a beautiful section of the South Fork of the Catawba just 20 minutes from Charlotte! While paddling, you'll also learn about the South Fork River and the greater Catawba-Wateree River Basin, as well as Catawba Riverkeeper's current mission-critical work.

Location: The South Fork Rapids Tour will meet at The Boathouse (115 Willow Drive, McAdenville, NC), take a shuttle to the Spencer Mountain Launch in Lowell, NC, paddle down the river, and then take-out back at the Boathouse.
