Play on a River!

It's gonna be hot this summer and what better way to cool off than a CHEAP jaunt on a river?!

Paddle Creek has an amazing Y-Guides promotion. They regularly charge about $55 per boat, but because you are in the Arapahoe Nation, the price you pay is $15 per person.

Ever heard of "Wafting"? Me neither, but apparently I've done it before! It's an inflatable, open top kayak, and Wafting on the Eno River offers both day and nighttime trips. The best part is it's $13 per person. I might do one of the Friday night trips...

But who could forget the 18 year Trailblazer/Trailmates staple of whitewater Rafting on the French Broad River the Friday before the Rockmont Fall Outing! Need I say more!

Harris Lake County Park

I have never been here, but from what I hear, it's fantastic. I looked at different activities they have for the whole family and they have a ton of choices...and it's cheap! I put the link on the "Calendar of Events" rather than the "Links" section due to the timeliness of many of their activities.

Send me any information you have of other local park events that you and your family have or would enjoy. I'll be more than happy to spread the word! Enjoy!
