Friday Afternoon Stress Release Paddle
Great Bend Park • May through November
Join us for a relaxing Friday afternoon canoe trip along the upper Haw River. This trip is ideal for the beginner as well as the experienced paddler and is the perfect way to end a stressful work week.
Trip Details:
Participants will check in at the Great Bend Park Parking lot located at 350 Greenwood Drive, Burlington, NC 27217. After a short hike paddlers will arrive at the put-in above Glencoe dam. This is an upriver trip in the flatwater section behind the dam. Paddlers will launch from and return to the same location. During the trip, participants are encouraged to bird-watch, fish, or just enjoy the tranquility of nature before returning to the launch site.

To fit into a life vest, passengers must be over the age of 2 years and weigh at least 30 pounds. The canoe can fit two adults and may accommodate up to two children if they are each under 100 pounds.
