This paddle is made possible by Riverside Paddle & Row, who will be supplying single or tandem sit on top kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and headlamps. The group will take an approximately 2-mile leisurely paddle down the Catawba River as they soak in the views and learn about the latest happenings with the Thread Trail.
