NE Cape Fear River - need info

Overcurrent · 2016-08-24T15:40:28+0000

Does anyone here have any RECENT experience with the Northeast Cape Fear River between Wilmington and Castle Hayne? I'm thinking about launching at Castle Hayne (leaving the truck and trailer at the ramp there Fri-Sun - safe??) and traveling the 22 miles down to Wilmington. Are there any known navigational hazards in that area? There appear to be some 30'-ish boats up that way, but my luck is that if there's a hazard, I'll find it, usually with a propeller. Would appreciate any and all feedback - THANKS.
