Boater Reviews
Relaxing place to launch a canoe or kayak for a fishing trip or even paddle down the river if you’re ready for an adventure.
Quiet and peaceful. You can fish off the walking bridge if you don't have a boat.
Stopped for short visit and plan to kayak and stay at the state park. Surprised me of how clean the parking are was. I normally take pictures but battery on phone was low. My boys said the fishing has to be good at this location.
Easy to find right off of Raeford Road before Wagram. There's plenty of parking and good bank fishing. An old bridge is also there if you want to fish from higher and deal with less mud or water. The current is deep and strong so bring good lines and weights.
Very nice place to canoe
