Great Trails State Paddle 2026

Hello Great Trail People!

We are super excited to invite you to spend some quality time on the Yadkin River State Trail! We are arranging a trip to hit the water on Wednesday after the conference. There are three local segments, each with their own charms and about 2.5 to 3.5 hours of paddling. We’ll plan on paddling the same beautiful stretch that we paddled last Conference, but may adjust to one of the others if the low water conditions continue or worsen. There are always great spots on the Yadkin with lots of water for paddling, so bring your paddle gear or reserve a boat, paddle and PFD from us (limited supplies).
