Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance of desired paddle time. Prices reflect a non-guided single kayak/sup rental for 4 hrs, and will vary depending on group size. All trips can be guided by an experienced river guide for an additional fee.
Paddle routes are weather dependent and sometimes subject to flooding. Paddle times are estimated under the assumption that the average paddler travels 2 miles an hour. Times may vary depending on river current and paddler experience.
Please call or email us with any questions about planning or outfitting your trip, or any areas not found on this list. We will travel almost anywhere for groups of 8 or more.
Information on the Tar Pamlico Water Trail Camping Platforms, and an interactive paddle map can be found at www.tarpamlicowatertrail.org.
