Need a romantic night out to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the pandemic lifestyle?  Join Carolina Thread Trail at Riverside Marina Paddle and Row for a calm evening along the Catawba River. Arrive at 6:00 p.m and explore the river with your significant other in single kayaks, a double kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. At 7:00, return to the Marina with your partner to recline on a blanket, eat dinner, and enjoy the sunset on a grass field along the riverbank. You are welcome to bring your own dinner, a blanket, and any other beverages you would like. Carolina Thread Trail is happy to provide one of our Carolina Thread Trail Pale Ales for your enjoyment!
