October 2014 Paddle: Smith Creek

This is a really fun paddle that doesn't take us far from town. We put in at  Archie Blue Park and take out at Cape Fear Community College. The shuttle is short and you can see Wilmington from an vantage point that most people never see. We will meet at CFRW at 7:45 and shuttle to the put in location.  We will be done by 1:00 at the latest.  

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.You are welcome to bring your own kayak and supplies. 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 contact Kemp at kemp@cfrw.us or call 910-762-5606.  Your boat reservation is not confirmed until you have heard from Kemp. Make sure you bring cash or check the day of the paddle!
