Abstract:

Floating down a river can be an ideal way to vacation and explore natural surroundings. One river that is often overlooked for floating is the Roanoke River in northeastern North Carolina. Its high banks offer good camping sites, and it flows through some of the state's interesting countryside. Lynch describes a thirty-five-mile floating trip on the Roanoke from Scotland Neck to Hamilton.
