Lake Hickory Water Temps

Oxford dam to Lookout Shoals dam
This is a nice 3.5-4.5 hr paddle with a little technical fun at the start (especially at low water)for a few miles. Some class I and little riffles, then opening up into calm flatwater. Good wildlife sightings most of the way til you hit the developed areas. The only drawback is the need to have 2 cars to run a shuttle between put-in and take-out

Give us a shout, the next time you are
going.

probably don’t really need
drysuits where you paddle—November—April in Maine is drysuit season—if you went into the water without one, doubt that you would last too long–although I can’t say I really like the choking feeling at the neck gasket
