I am looking for the area of the Yadkin river in southeastern Wilkes County at the mouth of a creek that flows into the Yadkin, does anyone know this area and the name of the creek that flows into it? Thank you Says Karen Collins
The scenic beauty of North Carolina and the playfulness of the water beats anything. The North Carolina Route 1001 to US Route 64 stretch of Yadkin River in Caldwell/Wilkes/Yadkin County is 29 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking
here in North Carolina are often easier than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your sleeping bag. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have
to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The starting location is a short drive from Lexington-Thomasville, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. There are a few other sections in this
river system that can be paddled as well.
