CLASS II 10 miles
The take out is at BENT RD not Bush!!!!! Says Horhay
The starting point is not too far from Boone, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The scenic beauty of North Carolina and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The Plumtree to Bush Rd/Rt. 19E stretch of North Toe River is 10 miles long and has been rated as a class II section by American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so keep in
mind that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might
end up sleeping in your car. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good spots. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. The Blue Ridge Mountains scenery is wonderful.
Briefly about the general area: If you yearn for a little side tour, try Buck Hill Gap, and Upper Bend is something you shouldn't miss
if you're here. Whohoo, so much cool stuff in one place! The Blue Ridge Mountains is peerless!. North Toe River is a relatively wet place usually with a large amount of rainfall; most of the rain falls during July, and the driest month of the year is October. Throughout the
