Headwaters Fun Float near Lawndale, NC

NC Wildlife Resources Commission boat launch 4933 Casar Road, Polkville, NC

We are heading up to the South Mountain foothills for a fun paddle on the cool shady waters of the First Broad River. Just downstream from the South Mountain Game Lands and one of our few Outstanding Resource Waters, this is some of the cleanest and life-filled water in the Broad River basin. The water is likely to be pretty shallow and “bony”, that is, we will be scraping and dragging over quite a few rocks and gravel beds.

$15 – $25
