Canoe Trips Your Canoe Trip: includes top quality canoes, paddles, life jackets, and transportation either to your put-in point or back from your take-out point. You can choose the length of your trip - a brief sampler of an hour, a short trip of 2 to 3 hours, an intermediate trip of 3 to 5 hours, or an all day trip of 6 or more hours. Most people stop to eat along the river, and you can bring your own lunch, buy lunch fixings at our store, or order a lunch from our deli in advance. Overnight Canoe Trips: of 2 to 6 days are also available and are an ideal way to escape from civilization with minimal travel and at a low cost. Our location within the center of the designated "scenic section" of the New River, gives you the best access to all state park sites, as well as, several privately owned campgrounds. What to Bring: Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting wet and shoes with good gripping soles such as tennis shoes or river sandals. Since mountain weather is unpredictable, be prepared for hot sun or occasional showers. A small cooler is handy for carrying lunch, drinks, and other items, and will fit in the center of the canoe. Don't forget a change of clothes for after your trip. Tubing Trips: ranging from 1 to 5 hours are also available. Tubing trips offer an even slower pace than canoes, as well as the perfect way for you to cool off on a hot summer day. Your tubing trip includes innertube, life jacket, and transportation to your put in point. Canoeing the New is a great Family Activity: The New is a gentle river and the most popular in the Southern Appalachians for family recreation. Children are welcome and are provided with childsized life preservers. Children under twelve go FREE when riding in the middle of a canoe with two adults.
