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!

The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in North Carolina are often
easier than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Greensboro-High Point, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The Route 2221 to
Route 2615 section of Deep River in Randolph County is 5.4 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The Route 2221 to Route 2615 section is one of many
paddling sections in this river system. The natural beauty of North Carolina and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip. There's camping available near
