June 2017 Paddle - Keg Island (Lower Cape Fear River)

Join us as we continue to explore the Cape Fear River by boat! This month we will be paddling around Keg Island. This will be an out and back paddle so there will be no shuttle. We will be departing from River Road Park. Meet at the CFRW Office at 7:30, if you would like to meet us at River Road Park, please be there by 8:15.

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 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.

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. The boats for members to use are listed for selection during the registration (by single kayak, tandem kayak or canoe) and are first come first serve.
