How
often do you make trips?
We are always taking trips. We get you
to the water as fast as possible.
We begin at 9 am and put in until 2 hours before the scheduled
water release.
What are the age
limits?
Age 6 and swimming with adult supervision.
Can I take a cooler?
Yes you can take a cooler. No Glass please.
What's the deal with alcohol?
Alcohol in moderation is fine on the water.
Alcohol is prohibited in Buford Dam Park.
Do I have to wear
shoes?
Hard sole shoes, sandals, or watersocks
are highly encouraged.
How do I know where
to get off the water?
We have three takeouts on our trips. The
Hwy. 20 takeout is on the right hand side of the Hwy 20
Bridge. We take out on the left side of Settles bridge. The third takeout is 1/4 mile passed
Abbotts Bridge on the left hand side at the concrete boat ramp in Abbotts bridge park.
Whats
the water level like?
The water level is controlled by the Buford
Dam. The water level remains consistant every day. The depth
runs from 2-3 feet near the Dam to 3-10 feet for most of
the trip.
Is
it safe?
Water sports are inherently dangerous.
The rapids on our trip are all class 1 and one class 2 rapid.
What do you do when
the water is released?
We
quit putting people in the water 2 hours prior to the release.
This should give everyone an opportunity to finish their
floats and not be in danger of getting caught in the rapidly
rising water. We never know until THAT day what the release
schedule is going to be....SO PLEASE CALL FIRST before coming
out for the day.
What
do you do in the off season?
We rent canoes and kayaks from March through December.
During the month of October we will sell a large variety of pumpkins and
Fall decorations. Starting Thanksgiving weekend thur Christmas Eve, we
will sell fresh Frasier Fir Christmas Trees from the Northern Mountains of
North Carolina.
