The Mountains-to-Sea Trail alternate route includes a scenic 4.6-mile stretch along the blackwater Northeast Cape Fear River, where the water flows gently past cypress and tupelo. If you have your own kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, you can explore the river and its abundant wildlife—just note that there are no local outfitters for rentals. The route skirts the riverbank, with quiet scenery and a chance to appreciate one of eastern North Carolina’s most beautiful waterways.
