**In compliance with North Carolina regulations and current CDC guidelines, Catawba Lands Conservancy and Carolina Thread Trail are taking the following steps and exercising additional precautions to ensure the safety of program participants, volunteers, and staff:

• All programs outdoors
• Limit program participant capacity. This program will be limited to 10 participants.
• Limit programs to activities that more readily allow for adequate distance (kayaking, biking)
• All staff using masks
• Encouraging all participants to use masks

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 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!
