Join Neuse Riverkeeper Samantha Krop on an evening paddle of Slocum Creek! Discover the natural beauty of this vibrant waterway — a favorite with area paddlers — and learn about the threats facing it.

Bring your own water and/or snacks, your own kayak (if you have one) or Sound Rivers has kayaks available on a first come, first served basis.

There is no cost associated with this event, however, a suggested donation of $15 would be appreciated. All donations will go toward staff time, gas and your Riverkeepers’ sampling work on Slocum Creek through Sound Rivers’ Water Quality Fund.

Meet up September 17th at 5 p.m. at the Slocum Creek Recreation Area in Havelock.

Join Sound Rivers, Craven County, Twin Rivers Paddle Club and Coastal Environmental Partners for an epic cleanup on Brices Creek on Sept. 27!

Brices Creek is a beautiful tributary of the Neuse River and a Sound Rivers’ paddling favorite!

Clean Sweep: River Sweep is part of Craven County’s Clean Sweep initiative and pairs with a land cleanup that will be held the following weekend.

You’re encouraged to bring your own kayak/paddleboard/canoe, but Sound Rivers will have a limited number of kayaks available on a first come, first served basis.

This on-the-water cleanup starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m. Meetup is at 8:30 a.m. at Merchants boat launch, 1801 Brices Creek Road, New Bern.
