About

Swepsonville River Park Upper Access is a boat launch on Alamance County Open Space land, about 0.7 miles from the town of Swepsonville, North Carolina. It serves as a put-in for paddlers and boaters heading out from the park's upper end. For comfortable weather, spring and fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run highs around 72°F in April and October, while July highs average about 90°F. The launch sits just 0.1 miles from the Haw River Trail, so a paddle can easily pair with a walk. The Quarry Hills Cart Path Trail is about 0.6 miles away. Other paddling options are close by: the Haw River Paddle Trail (Great Alamance Creek Section) is about 0.7 miles off, and Haw Creek is about 3.3 miles away.
