The nature scenery of North Carolina and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. 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. This is the only paddling section along Jonathans Creek. |
