North Carolina whitewater - Buffalo Creek, Caldwell County

Caldwell county, Route 1503 Bridge to North Route 268 Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     6 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so don't forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. The beautiful scenery of North Carolina and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. Buffalo
    Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Route 1503 Bridge to North Route 268 Bridge section is the only one. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip. This stretch of Buffalo
Creek is 6 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater.
