Thank you Says Karen Collins The North Carolina Route 1001 to US Route 64 section of Yadkin River is 29 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The put-in location is a short drive from Lexington-Thomasville, as you can see on the road map further down. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in     North Carolina are often easier than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. The natural beauty of North Carolina and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The North Carolina Route 1001 to US Route 64 section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this   area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. There's camping available near Yadkin River.
