Rice Creek paddle will be relatively easy – approximately 5 miles, quiet & shaded, and should take about 3 hours to complete. We will put in and take out at the WRC ramp on Rice Creek in Brunswick County. A map from CFRW to the put-in can be found HERE. You can put your address in box A and get directions from your house if you prefer to meet us at the put in.

We will have 8 boats available for rent for Cape Fear River Watch Members. We ask for a suggested donation of $15 to rent a boat for the day. If you would like to join or renew before the paddle, click here!

Register here to reserve your place and/or to rent your boat.

Paddlers can meet at the Cape Fear River Watch headquarters (617 Surry St.) where we will meet to caravan, or meet up with the caravan at the put in location. We will meet at CFRW headquarters at 7:30 am for an 8:00am departure. Those meeting us at the put in should be there by 8:15. All paddlers should wear a PFD. Other items to remember include sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, water, snack and water shoes if you would like to explore the beaches where oyster shells are present.

To help River Watch continue to bring you great programs like our Paddle Series and Educational Seminars, we ask you make a $10 donation either online with your registration or by bringing cash or check to the paddle on Saturday. If you need help the day of the paddle please call Kemp at 910-264-8036. Conditions may change in the period leading up to the paddle. Please check your email the night before and the morning of the paddle to ensure that the paddle has not been cancelled.
