    I really enjoyed how quiet this trip was to watch (overall), so relaxing. Thanks Pete.

    Looks like a great run. I really love late winter kayaking on a cloudy day like that.

    For a shorter run you can put in at Flippin Rd. And if you're going to camp down through there, take your fishing rods. There are trout on that section. That would make for a good supper.

      Yes we talked about that as a possibility but wanted the whole experience. I'll have to bring the rod next time!

    Looks like a nice section of river to paddle. Has a little of everything. Some camping spots too? Lots of shenanigans happening two boys having fun on the river.

    Days like this are my favorite! Out with a buddy exploring a new place! Good one, Pete!

    Man, really hope to get on of those Katanas used here soon! Looks like it'd be a great boat for the French broad in a lot of sections.

    I will hopefully get on this part of Dan River. Doesn't look too intimidating. I've mostly been kayaking lakes and easy going creeks. I'm new to Kayaking but have been canoeing for years. I've just been having fun learning and feeling how my kayak feels and reacts to me. I have a Remix XP10. I love it.

    Going right on the cobra is a decent line too. Good little boof drop

      We saw that and almost ran back up for a second lap. Next time!

    Nice little run, made more dangerous without vials of Cobra antivenom! : ' )
    Except for the Cobra section, it looks to be do-able in a more standard Rec boat? Would you agree, Pete?
    Is there a reasonable way to portage around the Cobra, versus swamping a more flat water oriented Rec boat?

    • @RiverKingsKayak
      @RiverKingsKayak  6 місяців тому

      LOL! and yes! a rec boat could def get down this stretch. I would recommend to portage on the right to avoid the coiled cobra rapid.

    More like the slithering cobra run? Any day kayaking is a good day. Cheers

    What was the CFS Flow Rate? I know that section can become unrunable if the flow is too low.

      I live in Stokes County & have been on the Dan a lot from Harts access to the Green Heron & on to Moratock Park, but haven't been able to catch friends & CFS's at the right time to do anything up from there. Jessup's Mill is my next goal to tick off the list.
