Paddling Up the Haw River

Haw River Canoe & Kayak Company
6098 Jordan Dr | Graham, NC
Saturday, April 25 | 10AM - 1PM

Come out to enjoy fresh air and time with your fellow secular folk! We’ll paddle kayaks and stand up paddle boards on a dammed lake then make our way up a quiet stretch of the Haw River. This area is very shallow water (typically only a few feet deep) with no boat wake and lots of wildlife.

No experience is required. The rental company and TFS host can offer assistance getting comfortable in a kayak. If you need to rent equipment, make reservations at the Haw River Canoe and Kayak. Choose the Choose “Three Hours on Saxapahaw Lake” self-guided tour at 10 AM.

10AM - 12PM: Paddle up the Haw River

12PM - 1PM: Optional Lunch: Join us at The Eddy Pub, a farm-to-table restaurant with fabulous food and a gorgeous river view just half a mile away.
