Discover River Kayaking at NOC

Experience White Water Kayaking at its Best!

Immerse yourself for a day in whitewater kayaking! This is the most convenient way to get a taste of the excitement of white water kayaking. NOC's world-class instructors give you their full attention to help you learn some basic skills, with emphasis on sharing in the fun of paddling on the river.

Programs Run Daily,
May 25 through September 2, 2013

Your Discover River Kayaking clinic begins with you and your instructor selecting the best boat and kayak gear to give you comfort and confidence. After you've found the perfect fit, we'll head to the lake to learn the basic strokes and tips to build better boat control.

After a picnic lunch we're off to the river to experience the moving-water action you've been looking forward to! Our instructors choose a section of river that is exciting, but reasonable for a first-time kayaker. Your river experience touches on basic river running and enjoying the thrill of whitewater, scenery and companionship. We typically finish around 3pm.

Discover River Kayaking is available at NOC's Nantahala River and Pigeon River outposts.  This program is designed for novices age 8 through adults.
