This is a great outing for families and people of all ages (min weight of 60 lbs).
7:30 AM Meet at Hardee's of Travelers Rest. Sign In and Pay $* for Rafting or Funyak as needed. Set Up Carpools. Have breakfast or coffee if desired.
10:30 AM Meet at Brookside Campgrounds (764 US Hwy 19, Topton, NC). Hardboaters* may check in with us here, then set up shuttle and prepare to join us at launch.
Brookside has dressing rooms, a few sundries, parking, and picnic tables. You can leave your clothes, food, and everything else you don’t need on the river in your car at the campground. Brookside people will take us and the rafts to the Nantahala launch area, and pick us up at the take-out about 8 miles and 2-1/2 hours later. Back at the campground we'll put on our dry clothes and have a picnic before we start home.
Bring tennis shoes (or neoprene booties) and clothes you don't mind getting wet to wear on the river. We recommend you wear a swimsuit and a tee shirt and bring along some extra warmth in case you need it. The water is cold, so you may want to wear wool socks and a windbreaker. Blue jeans are not recommended. Synthetic fabrics are best. Bring a towel, plastic bag for wet clothes, sunscreen, medications you might need, drinking water, snacks, and a picnic lunch. Make sure you have dry clothes for the trip home.
We'll be back in Greenville by early evening (7:00-8:00 p.m.).
