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
