SUMMARY:YRK and Town of Lewisville Paddle - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:**EVENT IS CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER** \nCome enjoy an early paddle on the Yadkin River with the Yadkin Riverkeeper and hosted by the Town of Lewisville. The section from Old 421 to Huntsville access is so close and yet feels so far away. Paddling it in the early spring is a great way to see further into the woods before the foliage cloaks the landscape. This easy paddling will have a few quick spots but leaves much time to enjoy the natural area so close to Winston-Salem and Lewisville. We will check in at the Park at Old 421 at 1 pm and unload any gear that we are taking on the river. After shuttling cars to the take out\, we’ll hop on the water. After we have completed the section we will load up and make sure paddlers get to their cars while basking in the enjoyment of another great day on the water. Paddlers are encouraged to bring their own boats. We will have a limited number of boats to use if you do not have your own.   Please sign up here! https://www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/events/2026/3/28/yrk-lewisville-paddle \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
