Catawba River, North of Rt.27 Bridge


Catawba River

I paddled from the dollar launch, by the Rt. 27 Bridge, down to the Mountain Island Dam. The total trip was approximately 5.5 miles round trip and took 90 minutes to complete. The weather was incredible at a balmy 65 degrees and sunny, and winds about 10 mph. Most of the shore is lined with residential homes along the Mecklenburg County shore, and the Gaston County side was wooded with a few homes along the way. There was plenty of wildlife to view especially down toward the Mount Holly park trails which run adjacent to the river.
