Elle Cross: Frog Hollow has been helping us with a paddle board repair. They have done an extremely thorough job identifying the problem and possible solutions and communicating their findings with us. They are a company with integrity and professionalism and I would highly recommend them for your outdoor recreation needs.
Jennifer Ludwick: Took an Intro to Kayak class with instructor Rainbow and couldn’t be happier. I came in a bit unsure of kayaking and left feeling so comfortable and confident in my beginner abilities that I signed up for a night paddle lake tour. Prices are great also. Highly recommend.
Barb J: The guided Sunset Paddle this week was wonderful! Everything about this outfitter was great: the nice person on the phone who handled reservations, the info available on their website and provided by email, the ease of parking at the boat launch, and the excellent help from guides Anna and Banks. Our group included a novice kayaker and Banks made sure we were all safe and had a great evening on the water. Anna was delightful and knowledgeable. It was a thrill to see a glorious sunset, a bald eagle, and two osprey nests with young ospreys in the nests, and to hear the cricket frogs.
Janet Clarke: Awesome for group outings! I've been on a few Frog Hollow kayaking and stand up paddleboard excursions, and they've all been wonderful. It's like going on a mini-vacation while staying close to home. Banks does a great job with providing safety rules and skills instructions, and he's always made sure that everyone in the group is comfortable out on the water and that no one strays too far or gets left behind. I've enjoying being introduced to different launch spots on Falls and Jordan Lakes, and the SUP tours were great because we were able to try different board styles and choose SUPs that matched our skill levels. If you need some time on the water but don't know how to get started, I highly recommend contacting Frog Hollow!
Maria Fadri: Magnificent. If you do any paddling in the triangle, or need lessons, come to Frog Hollow. Just spent an evening paddling in the sunset, waiting for moonrise, and watching fireworks, fish, and birds. Probably one of the best experiences I have had on the water ever.
Leanna Murphy: We had a fantastic experience with Frog Hollow Outdoors today kayaking on the Eno, Flat and Neuse Rivers. What a joy to be out on the water! And we saw hawks and blue herons; it was so peaceful and lovely in the breeze. Banks and his team are super careful with social distancing, masks at pick-up/drop-off and all of the equipment is sanitized and used by one person a day. We are signed up for their Sunset Paddle, the Paddle Under the Stars (with the Moorehead Planetarium) and the Night Paddles in the coming weeks. What professionals! And the price is right -- $30-$40/person for a few hours on the water. We highly recommend them!
Heather Tyler: Just used Frog Hollow for kayaking instruction for a group of 12/13 year old girls and moms. Banks was wonderful, patient and flexible. They were able to accommodate a wide range of sizes with safe equipment and excellent instruction. We've already booked another event with them!
Nick B: I recently took the Intro to Kayak class. Jordan was the instructor. He did a great job of reviewing some kayaking basics about the boat, gear, and so forth. And then instructed us in paddling on dry land. So, it was over an hour till we got in the water, but all the prep was well worth every moment. Once on the water, his patient, encouraging instruction continued. Since there were only two students (me and one other), the class took just under 3 hours. It was a great experience, really whetting my appetite for more kayaking!
Daniel Beyer: Fantastic people who love the outdoors and are great teachers
Elizabeth Ruben: My family and I have taken two trips with Frog Hollow this year. The first was a guided kayak tour through the three rivers area. It was absolutely amazing and showed me a paradise in my own backyard that I never knew existed. We all loved it.That trip motivated us to take a self-guided all day trip. Essentially, we rented the kayaks/canoes for the day in Falls Lake. It was absolutely lovely! We saw a bald eagle, a blue heron, and egrets. We saw an osprey nest (but we didn't see the osprey. Maybe they were on the nest? Not sure.) Then we paddled around for a bit, stopped for lunch, and explored another area after lunch. It was a great way to get back into nature, spend some great quality time, and reset.The folks at Frog Hollow are amazingly nice and helpful. I can't recommend them more highly.
Laura Rezac: I have been participating in Frog Hollow events for years. I first got to know them through seeking individual kayaking instruction for myself, and since then have trusted them to lead several school-age groups on kayaking trips and river cleanups. Their instructors have been, without fail, some of the most generous, capable, and knowledgeable people I've paddled with in my life on the water. I credit their teaching and example with laying the foundations for years of fun, safe trips on the water. If you are looking for paddling instruction, or for someone to lead a group of folks on their first (or 50th) paddling trip, I highly recommend Frog Hollow!
Alex Lemon: Awesome inclusive culture. Great place for participants of all ages and backgrounds offering everything from 55+ classes to camps for young kids. Knowledgeable guides and relaxed atmosphere gave me peace of mind while exploring with them. Best place for guided outdoor recreation in the triangle area by far.
R Cardone: Great camps for the kids. Friendly and helpful counselors.
Andrew McGuffin: Frog Hollow LLC requires participants to sign a blanket waiver of all liability to participate in its activities. This is not an assumption of risk agreement whereby participants merely acknowledge and assume the risks inherent in its outdoor activities. No, they insist participants indemnify -- and even defend -- Frog Hollow LLC regardless of whether Frog Hollow was grossly negligent or even willful. If, for example, Frog Hollow knowingly permits a staffer with his license revoked to drive participants in a Frog Hollow van while dead drunk, and, thereby, injures or kills these participants, Frog Hollow's waiver would indemnify it, even if FH, LLC knew he had done the same numerous times in the past. Similarly, if a FH, LLC staffer were to get angry at a participant and willfully act in a grossly dangerous manner that consequently injured that participant, the waiver would indemnify FH, LLC. If a FH, LLC staffer assaults or batters a participant, FH, LLC is indemnified. The range of possible or potential extreme examples is boundless, and FH, LLC wants absolute indemnification in all instances without exception. Should FH, LLC wish for participants to assume those risks inherent in vigorous outdoor activities such as the risk of drowning in a river in which their canoe capsizes because a guide made a judgment error, that's fine. Instead, FH, LLC asks participants to allow it to do its business as it pleases without any consequence whatsoever: No accountability, no responsibility and no professionalism. Unacceptable.
Jacob Matheny: It’s gud.
Cocoa Cinnamon: Such a great local business. We got out on the Eno and Flat rivers last night and it was so relaxing...something we need to do more. Banks and his team are kind, knowledgeable and excellent with providing an amazing experience. We've done the family paddle and the paddle under the stars and both were outstanding for different reasons.
Michael Feigin: They provide the best paddling and other outdoor trips.
zach mcelhaney: Not open 24 hours me and my wife Noah drive out here at 3:36, it took us 50 days and I missed my Grandpa's funeral. They were closed. Lobotomy
Maithry T: Took my parents, who are visiting me from India, here for thier first adventurous paddle boating.This was the highlight of their trip (adventurous side). It was the first time paddle boating for my parents. The instructors and the trainee instructors were extremely great. Many many thanks to Banks and his entire group for making this a most memorable moment for us. They also explained a lot about Eno River and the social work they do. Extremely Nobel. We are very thankful to this group for their patience and kindness.Cheers,Maithry
Viv Hazelrigg: Amazing camps. Focused on everything important. Hydrating, being safe, having fun, etc.Great supplies too.

Bob Warren: Nice place for kayaking. Short walk from the parking lot to the water’s edge makes it easy.
Jazmin Fudge: has anyone else seen that little ghost girl down there? i seen her like 12 years ago that's the only time i've ever seen something like that and i still think about it. i have a cousin who used to be homeless and would sometimes sleep in his car down there at night and he seen her too. just curious if anyone else has seen anything cause i know im not crazy lol i've tried researching that area but can't really seem to find anything specific but i know that people used to live in the new hope valley back in the day and it flooded after a hurricane forcing everyone to leave their homes and farms behind and some had to leave family graves behind. she was harmless, i only seen her but it still gives me chills to this day and makes me wonder who she was.
D. Rent: Nice lauch area for canoes and small boats
Banks Dixon: Small secluded access point and parking
Marisol Hydock: Great place to paddle if you’re a beginner. Easy launch from the sandy shore near the parking lot. There are no motorized boats on the water.
Steven Brian Moody: Great during the week too crowed on the weekend.
kattie Chambers Byrd: Great place for people that want to have peace and just enjoy the water on there kayak with out worrying about getting hit with other people in boats that dont care about anybody else and share the water love this place and will be back
David Riley: Parking lot sucks. People forced to part on the entrance lane which makes it tough getting to snd from parking lot.
Luke Smith: simple and easy launch
Shelby Roberts: This is a great spot to swim and paddle board. The waters are calm and there are lots of areas on the shore to sit, rest, and swim from. The kids (5-10) love going here. The bottom is not too mucky for bare feet though there are small rocks on the shore. The boat ramp goes into the water, but the blacktop is broken though still drivable. Also it’s free!
Aaron Norris: Superb! Gravel parking lot was nice, it was very clean, and lots of families around had the same idea! Great lazy day yaking and fishing
Ed Scott: small and peaceful great place to get away for a little bit and rejuvenate yourself!
Kevin: I wish they would repave the launch.
VL Woodford: The area is smaller than I expected. It's very quiet and restful. Not overly impressed with the launch area. I would like it better if they would pull up the end of the asphalt and give us a larger area to launch from. The area is full with just two or three kayaks.
Jen Fuchs: A great hidden gem for those wishing to kayak, swim, canoe, and stand-up paddleboard on the lake. There is limited parking (lot fits ~12 cars and then there is parking along the one-car driveway. You can wade into the water here and it's an easy launch for non-motorized water items. No trailers are allowed in the parking lot. It is a family spot so typically there are a lot of kids. No bathrooms or any other facilities.
Doris Cross: Good place just to fish, swim and relax
James Morgan: It's a beautiful place we're everyone is friendly, a place you can take your family and I always have my two boys we love it there swimming, fishing , hanging out, no boats no wave 🌊 safe place for them to develop some good kayak skills and learn to respect nature.yall besafe
Jim Cornwell: Jordan was 12 feet above normal pool elevation, so most ramps were closed. Water was cold & muddy. Couple that with a high pressure front and fishing was poor. At least it was a pretty day for a change. Spring is on the way. I'll be back to fish again once the weather warms up and the lake stabilizes.
PAUL: Nice quiet place to kayak with no motor boats allowed in the area.
Patrick Moulds: Great for a free launch site. In and out easy for beginner Kyackers
Tyler jones: Easy to get too good fishing

Tomas Dubie: Just stop to look, nice place to launch. May water current was moving pretty fast.
J Ore: Looks like a great place to launch your kayak or canoe, I went there to walk a trail down to the river and to get on the rocks to take pictures of the river and some of th leaves are changing in the trees, the river is low so you can get to the middle of the river for great photosPicnic area: Just one bench and a grill, but nice
Laurie Dobbins: Such a beautiful place. Very calming.
Dina Conley: The river is beautiful! The trail is a little difficult with much erosion which has caused large, exposed roots. There are some large rocks on the trail which require climbing over to continue on the trail. You can walk out to the river on some large, flat rocks. I recommend going when it’s cooler, because the trail can be very buggy.
Matt Piatkowski (Matti Pi): Looks like an adventure
Crystal Willett: Hiked till dark
Brian Franklin Elliott (Smile's): Beautiful, Spectacular, and Glorious ride from Duncan in Buckhorn Township, Harnett County, North Carolina USAi.e. Buckhorn NC. Saw pregnant rattlesnake up on bank trail back to car but didn't study long to tell type. Pigeon families have such a lovely home their. Will be back soon. Videographer/Photographer by phone.
Brian Franklin Elliott: Copy/paste soon
Dang Nguyen: Very nice scenery
Ahnna Dekam: Gorgeous, my dog and I both love this spot. We like it for playing and exploring though, not boat access.
Sera Elliott: Bench. Hard to get to the actual water. Rough Path along side River for a while
Sean McDermott: Nice ramp and boat launch with rollers. Some low hanging trees so be careful with any fishing rods you might have. Nice gravel lot with plenty of room
Tina Ricard: This is a great place to spend a few nights on the river
Ross McCarthy: Peaceful
Justin Goode: Intermediate would be my rating of this run unless the Haw were in flood stage. Nice...take your fishing gear.
Ada Jara: Excelente!!!!👍👏👏
Bryan Williams: Great spot for a hike, convenient put-in location.
Jessica Barnette: We didn't see any signs, and stumbled upon this beautifully hidden gem 💓💓 perfect start to a day!
Ben Powell: Great walking spot. Not an easy trail so good for exploring young boys. When the river is low you can cross large sections of it. Bring clothes that can get muddy.
Anne Clancy: Lovely hike
Sue Powers: Trail was muddy and the water was high, making crossing over to the lower trail difficult. Will be back when things are drier. That will probably change my rating of the trail. Very little parking at the trailhead.

Brian C Newman: Good for canoes, not so much for larger kayaks.
Ed Scott: great kayaking and fishing! I highly recommend!
Bryan Favara: Great kayak & canoe launch! The launch there makes it very easy for kids to get in and out of the kayak.
Jason Beck: Perfect place for a day on the water.
Roger Harvey: Great access point. Never to crowded
Onda lineberger-blevins: Peaceful beautiful
RUBY INMAN: Love canoe and fishing here every year!
Amanda Riley: Great little place to catch some fish (:
mcrobrum: Great kayak launch. Nice scenery.
Bjamin F: The ramp is destroyed.
Cynthia Carlson: Awesome
John Fisher: Take out for the Lower Haw, Class 3, see American Whitewater website, or put in to paddle flatwater on Jordan Lake.
David Shuman: Great kayak launch location
Jeffrey Carlson: Excellent and quiet.
Banks Dixon: Free access to Jordan Lake for flat water and is also the take out for the lower Haw. Lower Haw is a class III run that changes drastically with differing water levels. Really fun section with some great play for competent whitewater kayakers. Know what you're getting into before paddling this section of river. ... Or any river for that matter :)
Ezra Farber: I've never used a launch like this before. It's really convenient and easy...
Ethan Bean: There is a small, free gravelled parking lot with a fairly steep and curved dirt path down to the water. Launch area is a wooden dock with a sturdy plastic floating platform, specifically designed for launching canoes and kayaks. The float has low metal rails and plastic rollers so you can push yourself off into the creek area. From the main waterway, you can access the Haw River (to the north), Robeson Creek (to the south), and eventually the New Hope River (south) and Jordan Lake (to the south and east).
mai xiong: Awesome place to fish and kayak.
