  The wonderful Rockingham County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The starting location is a short drive from Martinsville, as you can see on the road map further down. This stretch of Mayo River - North Fork in Rockingham County is 3.1 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. This section
    is quite short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in North Carolina tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. You might have to settle for a hotel
a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here.
