September 2026 Paddle: Rice Creek (with Kayak Carolina)

Click here to register (opens September 1st)!

Join us as we continue to explore the Cape Fear River Basin by boat! This month we will do an around 5-mile paddle on Rice Creek and Town Creek. We’ll meet at the put-in at Rice Creek Boat Ramp at 8:15 am. on Saturday, September 19th. This paddle is an out-and-back, so no shuttle will be needed.

This month’s paddle will be led by the amazing team at Kayak Carolina, while your Cape Fear Riverkeeper Kemp is out of town for a conference. We are so grateful to Angela Marshall and her crew for stepping up to help keep our paddle series afloat this month!
