August 2017 Paddle - Holly Shelter (Northeast Cape Fear River)

Join the CFRW paddlers for a quiet 6 mile paddle of Shelter Creek and lunch at Holland's Seafood Restaurant. Paddlers may either meet at CFRW's Surry St. offices at 7:30am to caravan to the put-in or meet us at the put-in (the SR1520 bridge over Shaken Creek) around  8:30am. We'll unload boats and shuttle as many vehicles as possible downstream to Holland's and hopefully be underway by 9:30.  We should all be off the creek and into some fried catfish by 2:00pm.  For a map to the put in location click here, just enter your address in box A for directions.  For a map of the shuttle route click here. 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.

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.
