New River Paddle Trail

Five sections of the New River Paddle Trail offer slow and peaceful waters and wildflower-covered banks, the perfect backdrop for a self-guided canoe ride or a lazy inner tube ride on a hot summer's day. 

Make sure to set up transportation from one point on the river to the next with a local guide service or transportation service. For more tips on what to wear and how to prepare for a day out on the river in Boone, check out our Tubing Tips & Checklist.
