Zaloos Canoes, Kayaks & Tubes on the New River
Here's a sample of the beautiful New River in Ashe County North Carolina. Zaloos Canoes, Kayaks & Tubes has been inviting people to discover this hidden treasure since 1976. This river is unique in that it is considered to be one of the five oldest rivers in the world, actually predating the Appalachian Mountains. It is also home to the prehistoric Hellbender Salamander, this species grows to an average length of 2 feet.
Odds are you will never see one of our Hellbenders as they live under rocks, but what you will see is a fantastic view from the New River Valley surrounded by beautiful forests and tranquil pasture land. This is a very gentle river, you won't encounter rapids or dangerous water on the stretch serviced by Zaloos. The New River is also considered one of the premier small mouth bass fishing rivers in the southeast. You can also catch trout as well as many other varieties. Have your own boat, no problem, Zaloos will shuttle your boats as well, so feel free to bring your own canoe, kayak or even your favorite tube.
Zaloos is located five river miles above the New River State Park Wagoner Access (ncparks.gov). This is a fantastic campground. Many of Zaloos customers canoe into this campground to begin overnight trips that range from one night to several nights all the way to the Virginia Border about 34 miles of river downstream from Zaloos.
Located only 4 miles from Zaloos is Raccoon Holler Campground(raccoonholler.com). A fantastic family oriented place to relax and use as a base to explore the New River and Ashe County. Located near Raccoon Holler Campground is the community of Glendale Springs, most famous as the home of the Church of the Frescoes. Beautiful work by Carolina native Ben Long who learned his art in Florence Italy while serving an eight year apprenticeship. Glendale Springs is also home to the Glendale Springs Inn, The Greenhouse Gift Shoppe and Rodie's Parkway Restaurant.
The Northwest Trading Post located on the Blue Ridge Parkway at Glendale Springs is a favorite stop as well.
The nearby town of West Jefferson is a high country treat. Interesting shops, restaurants and modern AirBnB's.
Mount Jefferson State Park towers over the town, a must see.
Ashe County is also the Christmas Capital of the United States. This county supplies millions of trees to individuals and large consumer operations all over the country. Ashe County is known particularly for the Fraser Fir, a very popular and hardy tree that is native to this region.

Kayak Camping New River State Park NC
I join Shevin from Wondering Monkey for their annual Get Your Paddles Wet Subscriber trip. The plan was to go Kayak Camping in New River State Park. Monumental Rains and a funeral changed some plans. The crew stuck it out and made the Most of a wet weekend. We managed to get in a run on a swollen river to cap off a crazy weekend. Most importantly...I meet my biggest fan!
