Join us as we continue to explore the Cape Fear River by boat! This month we will do a 5.5-mile out-and-back paddle of Lower Town Creek. Meet at the CFRW office at 617 Surry St. at 7:30 am OR at the put in location (the Brunswick Nature Park boat ramp) at 8:15 am.
All paddlers should wear a PFD, however those paddlers using CFRW boats are required to wear a PFD. Other items to remember include sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, water, snack/lunch and water shoes. If you have an allergy that is severe remember to bring your epi-pen or medication.
We have a limited number of boats available for rent for CFRW members ($25 per boat; includes PFD and paddle). If you would like to use a CFRW boat please indicate such during your registration.
