North Carolina whitewater - Deep River, Randolph County
Randolph
county,
Route 2221 to Route 2615 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 5.4 miles
My wife and I decided to give this route a try, and we found that a couple of miles down river from the put-in site, there is a big dam that is at least 20 feet tall with no way around it. We ended up walking 2 miles back to the car to come pick up our kayaks. When we got home we looked at satellite pictures using google maps and it looks like there are 2 more dams before you would reach the take out site. I do NOT recommend this route. Paddlers beware! Says Jeremy
The starting location is a reasonable drive from Greensboro-High Point, there's
a road map further down the page with more info on that. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The beautiful scenery of Randolph County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. 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.
