The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. This section of Green River in North Carolina is 2.9 miles long and it is classified as a class IV-V+ section by American Whitewater. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. Getting some good exercise and
a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. There are so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the Hungry Creek to Green River Cove Road stretch is just one of many. This is a short paddling
stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. No need to look hard for hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The natural beauty of Henderson/ Polk County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The wild scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains is great.
