are lots of good rivers for that around here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Getting
a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. There's camping available near Dan River.
