CCC-CKC Deep River Trip
CCC-CKC Co-Paddle on the Uwharrie River has been changed to the Deep River. Sorry, the Uwharrie, while beautiful, doesn’t have quite enough water to be a good experience.
We’re changing to the Deep River.
CCC-CKC Deep River Trip Carbondale Road to Carbondale Access
Coordinators: Alton Chewning 919 210-8594 Ingrid Haddon 919 270-3282
Meeting Time: 10am, Saturday, April 25
Launch location Carbonton Road (Moore 1621): https://maps.app.goo.gl/BdmCr8dYioYJfHWm9
To reach the river, cross Carbonton Road and proceed down a path beside the guard rail. This is the upstream right side of the bridge. Near the river, the slope is fairly steep. Use a rope to lower your boat, being careful no one is below it. Rope could also be useful in helping people carefully descend to the river. At least it’s not muddy.
Takeout location, Carbonton Access: https://maps.app.goo.gl/x6c5RA8GSqYtVX626
There is a small parking area for several cars available at the launch location. This is a intersection of Carbonton Road (Moore 1621) and Harrington Raod. Park on the side of Harrington if necessary.
We’ll move as many cars as possible to the Take Out location at Carbonton Access (see link.) The take-out has ample parking.
We run the shuttle from the Deep River Carbonton Road access (see launch location below) at 10am (please have your boat down to the water at 10am.
This section of the Deep, at this level, has only small riffles, possible a Class I rapid or two. Most people will be using plastic whitewater boats. Other durable boats could work but there will be some rock scraping involved in a few places.
- Please bring a rope to lower your boat at the launch.
- Bring a helmet if you have one. Sun hat if not.
- Everyone must wear PFD’s.
- Bring water (80+ degrees), sun protection and a snack.

All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
