SUMMARY:Celebrate N.C. State Trails: Hike the Haw River Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Haw River Trail corridor runs 80 miles\, from just north of Greensboro southeast to its conclusion in Jordan Lake. It’s boulder-strewn waters give the impression of a mountain river while its flora-choked banks are almost junglelike in spots. It’s perhaps the wildest experience to be had in the Piedmont. \nJoin the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources’ Hometown Strong initiative for a celebration of the Haw by both land and water on August 17 in Saxapahaw. The day begins with a paddle on a dammed portion of the Haw\, known as Lake Saxapahaw\, from 1-3 p.m.\, followed by this 3-mile hike from 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nThe hike will begin just outside the Haw River Ballroom. We will hike the Haw River Trail 1.5 miles downstream on surprisingly smooth trail that defies the rocky river on your right\, the lush wall of green on your left (save for a short stretch near the turnaround that passes a meadow). \nThis is an easy hike that’s dog-friendly (leashed-dog friendly). We will take a mellow pace\, stopping to check out the Haw along the way. After the hike\, stick around for Saturdays in Saxapahaw\, live outdoor music from 6-8 p.m. More specific directions to trailhead will be provided shortly before the event.

SUMMARY:Paddle the Dan River in Stokes County- August FSO
DESCRIPTION:DRBA’s August 3\, 2024\, First Saturday Outing will be a 5-mile paddle trip on the Dan River in Stokes County from the Pitzer Road Fishing Access to Hemlock Golf Course Access coordinated by Will Truslow. Meet by 9:00 a.m. at the Pitzer Road Fishing Access to set shuttle.\n\nHistory of the Dan River\n\nHistory and legend abound on this section of the river\, which is characterized by high bluffs forested with hardwoods and stands of stately hemlock trees. About half a mile below Snow Creek is Thompson’s Fish Dam\, which has remnants of a rare wooden slat trap. According to “An Insider’s Guide to the Dan River\,” a “heavy timber frame\, about eight feet square\, formed a grid of slats” to trap fish channeled into the trap by a vee-shaped low rock wall. At least two branches of the Great Wagon Road forded the river at shoals on this section\, and caves are said to have been used by Confederate draft dodgers.\nRock formations and uncommon Carolina hemlock stands have received recognition as the Dan River Cliffs natural heritage area. According to Truslow\, “This section of the Dan has the last of the really high bluffs before the river winds on into the Piedmont. Some are about 150 feet high.” The most spectacular is Davis Bluff\, a dramatic rock face on river left where huge boulders lie in the water at the base of the cliff. Legend says that a member of the Davis family fell to his death from the road on top. To this day\, the cliff is known as Mount Horrible.\n\nAbout the Paddle\n\nThe Dan River in this section is rated mostly as Class 1\, but the remains of a former Duke Power dam\, dynamited in 1975\, create a sometimes challenging Class 2 rapid. Fortunately\, it is located within sight of the take-out ramp at Hemlock Golf Course.\nMeet by 9:00 am at the Pitzer Road Access. Arrange to supply boat\, paddles\, life jackets\, water and lunch; wear water-shedding artificial fabric or wool (not cotton\, and certainly not blue jeans); and provide a back-up change of clothing. All participants will be asked to sign a waiver. DRBA’s First Saturday Outings are free and open to the public. For more information\, contact trip coordinator\, Will Truslow through email at willtruslow@hotmail.com.\nRentals will be available in ADVANCE through the Dan River Company. Please contact by phone at (336)593-BOAT. The pick-up location may vary from the starting point.\n\nDIRECTIONS:\nDirections to: Pitzer Road Fishing Access\, Walnut Cove. GPS: 36.402403\, -80.145994https://maps.app.goo.gl/DRJKgCc8JweXrWHy6\nFrom Greensboro or Winston-Salem: Go through Walnut Cove on US 311 and continue north on NC 89 towards Danbury. In about 5 miles\, turn right/straight onto Dodgetown Rd. (where NC 8 enters from the left).Go about 3-4 miles\, cross the Dan River\, taking a left on Pitzer Rd. Access is on left in about ½ mile.\nFrom the Martinsville area: Go south on US 220 into NC and take the NC 770 exit and go right (west). Follow 770 to the NC 704 intersection and turn left onto 704. Then take the first right\, onto Delta Church Rd. Follow this road for several miles and the road changes name to Sheppard’s Mill Rd. Turn left onto Pitzer Rd where Priddy’s Country Store is on the right. Go 2 miles to find the access on the right.\n\nPlease visit www.danriver.org by 5:00 pm\, Friday\, August 2\, 2024 to determine if weather or other issue prevents the outing to be held.\nOutings and meetings of the Dan River Basin Association are open to the public without charge.

SUMMARY:Celebrate N.C. State Trails: Hike the Haw River Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Haw River Trail corridor runs 80 miles\, from just north of Greensboro southeast to its conclusion in Jordan Lake. It’s boulder-strewn waters give the impression of a mountain river while its flora-choked banks are almost junglelike in spots. It’s perhaps the wildest experience to be had in the Piedmont. \nJoin the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources’ Hometown Strong initiative for a celebration of the Haw by both land and water on July 6 in Saxapahaw. The day begins with a paddle on a dammed portion of the Haw\, known as Lake Saxapahaw\, from 1-3 p.m.\, followed by this 3-mile hike from 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nThe hike will begin just outside the Haw River Ballroom. We will hike the Haw River Trail 1.5 miles downstream on surprisingly smooth trail that defies the rocky river on your right\, the lush wall of green on your left (save for a short stretch near the turnaround that passes a meadow). \nThis is an easy hike that’s dog-friendly (leashed-dog friendly). We will take a mellow pace\, stopping to check out the Haw along the way. After the hike\, stick around for Saturdays in Saxapahaw\, live outdoor music from 6-8 p.m. \nFor more information and to sign up for this free event\, go here.
