About Us...

Our Goal Is To Have Fun - Lots of Fun

We will organize trips throughout the year with veteran members leading on a volunteer basis. An important goal of the Twin Rivers Paddle Club is to offer its members the opportunity to improve their paddling skills with club-sponsored clinics for novice to experienced paddlers. While doing this we will maintain the focus of promoting paddle sports in New Bern and Craven County to make the area a paddle sports destination. The Twin Rivers Paddle Club emphasizes safety and contributes to the conservation of the rivers we enjoy.

If you live in the area and have an interest in paddling, we invite you to join us. Dues are $12.00 per year (due in June or pro-rated $1.00 per month). Membership dues help to support the newsletter, website, conservation, and social activities.

Our Mission

Our main purpose is to bring together persons interested in paddling in the New Bern and Craven County Area and to promote paddle sports in this region while maintaining a safe and responsible use of navigable waters.

Our purposes are to:

1. Encourage exploration of recreational waterways in Craven County and local area

2. Encourage preservation of waterways, i.e., conservation of rivers, wildlife

3. Promote enjoyment and appreciation of the wilderness while participating in and promoting paddle sports

4. Promote safety/proficiency in paddling

5. Publish and demonstrate developments in all aspects of paddling.

Anyone is welcome to join the Club - whatever your paddling interest is, ability, or level of experience - this provides a chance to meet others with common interests and similar skill levels.
