so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camp stove too. The natural beauty of North Carolina and the water flowing gracefully down Little
Tennessee River will make you feel great. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the North Carolina Route 28 to US Route 19 section is just one of many.
