September
18 Kayaking Landsford Canal on the Catawba
This is a beautiful
paddle that is suited for all ages and experience
levels. We will be putting in at Landsford Canal State
Park and paddling upstream for several miles. The
current is calm and the paddle is easy. We’ll find a
place for lunch, and then head back to the park. There
is a good chance of seeing eagles on their nests
upstream. We will only be several hundred yards from
the whitewater of the Catawba in the calm and easy water
of a canal that was hand-dug in the 1820’s by slave
labor.
Space is limited so
