The water level in the river was very low and the fish weir was visible. In higher water, it would be completely submerged.
Further on the loop, we had a nice view of the rivermill that is now apartments.
At the north end of the island, we were able to get into the riverbed and view the dam upstream.
After finishing the loop, we walked into town and had breakfast at the general store. Then we headed over to Saxapahaw Lake and hiked the Scout Loop.
On the hike back, we got on Haw River Trail and headed across the bridge to go northbound. There was a marbled orb weaver spider along the road.
The trail ran through the grounds of Saxapahaw Campground and to the dam.
The newest section continued past the dam for another 3/4 mile along the lake.
Where the trail ended, we turned around and headed back to the car.
For lunch, we stopped at the Eddy before heading home.
