Put In: Dollar Put-in along NC27 in Mount Holly
Distance: 2.8 Miles
It was a relaxing paddle along the Catawba River today. There were a surprising number of other paddlers out on the river, who were launching from the USNWC Flatwater site. I effortlessly paddled up to the entrance of Long Creek where I turned in front of a few fishing boats. Long Creek was quiet and void of any other paddlers, but I was in the company of mountain bikes rushing along the trails just 20 feet above the water line. On the return, I was greeted by several Dragon Flies who seemed like they were trying to challenge me to a race. One even took a break and perched on the bow of my kayak before jetting away in an instant.
