This hand carry boat launch is located on the Catawba Indian Reservation at the end of a historic wagon trail dating back to 1810, providing access to a scenic 9. 7-mile paddling section of the Catawba River.

The nearby Catawba Cultural Center offers exhibits on the tribe's rich history and culture. This access point serves as both a put-in for upstream paddles and a take-out for downstream trips on this easy, mostly flat-water section of river.
