Here, at Cape Fear River Adventures located in Lillington, NC between Raleigh and Fayetteville, we offer variety of paddle board activities from 1-hour rental, to a day long river excursions, to classes and paddle board yoga. The river flow is very slow in the summer time allowing to paddle up and down the river with ease. Paddle boarding on our river is suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. You can always expect to enjoy scenery, wildlife, endless swimming opportunities and just great times away from every day life! Check out what we have to offer below, and we'll be seeing you on the river soon! If there are any questions whatsoever, don't hesitate to call us at 919.495.5555!

Hourly Rentals offers an opportunity to paddle board on flat water in a very calm section of the river. It also gives you the flexibility to paddle as much or as little as you desire, since you begin and end at our ramp. It is the same concept as if you were to paddle on a lake. One hour option will allow you to cover up to 2 miles (1 mile out and 1 back), but some choose to go just a couple hundred yards out, enjoying the scenery wildlife and water. Choose the two hour option and you will have an opportunity to paddle to a Class I rock garden (about 1.5 miles from our ramp), which offers a great opportunity for a quick swim or break. The water runs very shallow in that section (ankle to knee deep) with a tad bit stronger current. Our favorite thing to de here is to find a nice spot to sit in the rapid and let the moving water give a natural massage :-)
