For our second canoe trip, we launched from the Robeson Creek boatramp, where the Haw River meets Jordan Lake. Our goal was to go up the river a bit. We had a good paddle, with far less motor boat traffic than last time. We went up the river as far as we could, stopping at a cool little island/peninsula to explore for a bit (even finding a watermelon!). We reached a point where the river narrowed and got really rocky and we couldn't paddle against the current anymore. We went to a spur of the river and let Simon practice his whitewater rafting skills a bit.
The hardest part about canoeing is getting the canoe off and on the van.
