May Third Saturday Paddle: Keg & Shark’s Tooth Island

May 21, 2022 @ 7:30 am - 2:00 pm

Register here.

Join us as we continue to explore the Cape Fear River by boat! This month we will be paddling around Keg Island and Shark’s Tooth Island. This will be an out and back paddle so there will be no shuttle. We will be departing from River Road Park. You can either meet us at the CFRW office at 7:30 for a caravan to River Rd Park, or you can meet us there at 8:15am.

We encourage all paddlers to wear a PFD, and we require all paddlers using CFRW boats to wear one.  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.

*Strong wind and foul weather can effect this paddle more than others due to its location.  We will be monitoring the forecast and if predictions indicate that their will be strong winds we will likely cancel this paddle. If we cancel we will notify those who have signed up by email on Friday night or Saturday morning.

We have a limited number of boats available for rent for CFRW members ($15 per boat; includes PFD and paddle). If you would like to rent a boat please indicate such during your registration. You can register here.

If you would like to join or renew before the paddle, you can click here to join or renew or call Audrey at 910-762-5606.  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.  THANK YOU!

If you need help the day of 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.
