I think I camped on that same bar you did on one of my solo canoe trips. I kept talking to my TV telling you to slow down on day 2 or you wouldn’t get to camp a 2nd night! Haha
I love the Current River and it's main tributary the Jack's Fork. Both are just pristine. If you haven't already, and you wanna see something equally or maybe even more wild/remote, you should try the Upper Jack's Fork from Buck Hollow to Alley Spring. Both rivers are beautiful and the Current is more floatable all year, the Jack's generally gets too low in the summer above Alley Spring unless there's good rains.
Hey! Thanks for watching. We did self shuttle. The first morning we unloaded the boats at Baptist then took both vehicles to the takeout (round spring) we left a pickup truck there then drove back to Baptist. At the end we loaded all 4 boats in the pickup and went back to the start where the other vehicle was. Rivers are a logistical challenge when not using shuttle services. There are vehicle only shuttles available in the area from the outfitters. You can leave them a key and pay for a vehicle only shuttle. While you’re paddling they will come get your car and drive it from the put in to your takeout location.
We stayed at the pinecrest campground. Look them up for current rates. We enjoyed our stay. They had a convenience store with ice and drinks and wood etc. As for the kayak question I’m not sure. We used our own kayaks and didn’t rent any. You can check with one of the outfitters in the area. Typically you want to work with whichever outfitter is located at the place you want to FINISH your trip at. That way you are returning the kayak to the outfitter when you get off the river.
Google current river camping or kayaking. Many places from akers ferry to round springs to camp and rent a kayak from. I've never been to a rental that cared where you got in or out of the river at, as long as it's one of the many launching or departure places on the river.
Man I'd love to kayak the Current River that's a beautiful place, it's kinda similar to my home river the Uwharrie. Just subbed to your channel, do us a favor and go over and join in on our adventures too! Thanks and God bless! 👍
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I haven't paddled that stretch yet.
Nice! we were just there last weekend. beautiful!

Great Video, it gives you a good feel for the river. Thanks.
Love the Current River. Floated that part several times. It never gets old.
Great video! Headed up Monday!!
Fabulous video! Felt like I was on the river with you!
@Cheryl How are you doing
I can't wait. I'm taking this trip in May.
You will love it. We had a blast.
Sweet video man! Nice and relaxing. Makes me miss that weather lol
Love the video! Quick question. Did you shuttle your car to the final spot and then just go drive back to the start and get the other car?
