    because these hotels fill up quick. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The US Route 21 to North Carolina Route 67 section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of
people coming here. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so better bring your camping gear along. The beautiful scenery of North Carolina and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile.
