Columbus Day Hunt River Paddle

Posted by Gary P on 10/8/2023, 9:25 am

I’m looking to paddle Monday (Columbus Day) at 11:00am on the Hunt River. The entrance to the river is adjacent to the Davis Memorial Refuge Audubon property (see link). If interested, please reply to this post.

Hello, Gary. I'm just wondering if you were able to get past the 2 telephone poles-across-the-river part near the end. Last time I went (June or July) I had to laugh because the river height was finally just enough to get over, but a tree had recently fallen right behind so that last stretch was still out of reach! Not super important; just wondering. I love paddling there-I wish I could've gone with y'all. Hope ya had fun.

Hi Johnny, No we reached the telephone poles with the expectation that the higher water would allow us to go over but the river was basically the same height (just wider). We did see the small tree after and thought better of trying to get over the poles. The paddle was still nice and turned out to be just under 4mi.
