Kayaking Adventure: Historic Eagle Island

Please make special request for a tandem kayak.

Eagle Island is just minutes away from Downtown Wilmington and offers a great chance to view wildlife in a natural habitat.  The island lies in the confluence of the Cape Fear and Brunswick Rivers in the Lower Cape Fear River Basin. It consists of approximately 3,100 acres and was originally cultivated in the 1700s as a rice and indigo plantation.  This adventure is an easy 5-mile kayaking adventure that is timed to take advantage of the tides.  View the beauty of Eagle Island, learn about its history, and explore some of the still existing, original rice canals on the island.  This adventure should take no longer than 3 hours, from the time the group launches from the Brunswick River Walk landing in Belville.
