Notice!
|
While navigable
waters are public, much of the land along the Roanoke & its
tributaries is privately owned. Please respect private property.
Get permission before docking on or crossing private property.
Remember that these lands and waters are also great for hunting deer,
turkey, ducks and other species. Know
when hunting seasons are in session and take extra care if exploring
during these seasons.
