Broad River Fall Float near Shelby, NC 10-21
October 21, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
$5 – $15
Join Broad Riverkeeper David Caldwell for a fall float along the Broad River. We will be paddling a beautiful and remote stretch of the Broad that few people get to paddle and enjoy! The first half of the trip will have some fun, easy class I and II rapids. The second half of this section is in slow-moving and still water, so we will need to paddle some (not just float) to reach the takeout on time. It is about a 4 to 5-hour trip. If interested we invite you to bring a fishing pole and some binoculars on this trip! There will be opportunities to fish and see wildlife!
Meet up time 9:30 am sharp.
Please bring: your boat, paddle, and lifejacket, water (at least 2 quarts), lunch, sunscreen, sturdy water shoes or sneakers (no flip-flops), and a dry change of clothes. We have some extra kayaks available only if you reserve them in advance.
The rain date for this event is October 28, 2023. Please reserve this date on your calendar.
