May 2017 Paddle - Burnt Mill Creek, Lower Cape Fear River

This is a really fun paddle that doesn't take us far from town. We will put in at Archie Blue Park, on Burnt Mill Creek paddle downstream to Smith Creek and then to the Northeast Cape Fear and take out at the foot of Castle Street, next to the CFRW office. The shuttle is short and you can see Wilmington from a vantage point that most people never see. We will meet at CFRW at 7:30 and shuttle to the put in location, if you want to meet us at the put in be there by 8:00am.  We will be done by 1:00 at the latest

If you need to rent a boat they are just $15 for the day if you are a CFRW Member. If you would like to rent a boat please indicate such during your registration. *You no longer need to contact Kemp to confirm your boat registration. Once you receive your email receipt for your online registration your boat has been confirmed and we will see you the day of the paddle.
