[@sanjan1966]

So amazing place to explore

[@japansapporowalk]

Thanks for letting me experience the cave by kayak. It is not scary when the lights are still on, but it looks very scary when it is completely dark.😵

[@Kayak7seas]

Be sure to check out our underground kayaking adventure from Kentucky

What a lovely video. Watched all of it and love your editing style. Great narration voice you have too.

[@Kayak7seas]

Thank you so much!

[@AbandonedLandscapes]

Beautiful location and I like the abandoned shack 👊

[@Kayak7seas]

Thanks, unfortunately the abandoned shack burnt down last year due to some careless campers

[@tommydean8727]

@@Kayak7seas more like intentional. Loved going there throughout the years and finding all of my friends names on the walls. Unfortunately people just don’t care about anything anymore.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MargieAndaya]

❤😮 that amazing adventure

[@Kayak7seas]

Thank you so much 😊Have a great weekend

[@cupcakescorner7684]

Rowing to the tunnel is i thought dangerous but you all passed through it. And the lake has no hidden crocodiles. The abandoned building still looks good. Catch those birds for tonights bbq ms kayak

[@Kayak7seas]

sadly the cave is now blocked off and the abandoned house is gone.

[@Orion1992]

Thank you too

Hello wow nice it's a cave wow amazing

[@Kayak7seas]

Thanks for visiting

[@aalegalfocus]

Looks great. I've never e en heard of Badin before!

[@Kayak7seas]

Badin is south of Winston-Salem.

[@NitspilsChannel]

Wow so cool. Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Kayak7seas]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@GoFoggy]

Very nice one again👍

[@Kayak7seas]

Thanks again!

[@aalegalfocus]

Such beautiful views!

[@Kayak7seas]

Since it sits along the Uwharrie National Forest there isn't much development disturbing those views. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

[@rpsellers]

FYI: The tunnels are no longer open to paddling. They've been gated off and posted with no trespassing signs. a BIG bummer, kind of making the paddle not really worth the effort.

[@Kayak7seas]

yeah, the fishing cabin has burnt down and now the tunnel is closed, it's such a shame because it was a pretty cool experience. I just don't understand how they can block waterway access like that.

[@cjhockmuth8510]

I will be looking for a way to fight this...

[@PaddlingTramp]

Hi, I really like the little waterfall and the artificial cave! Great place!

[@Kayak7seas]

Thank you very much! This was an interesting paddle for sure.

[@keithliaros1584]

Looks like a great place to kayak. Enjoyed your video however I would make a habit of wearing a PFD

[@Kayak7seas]

agreed, once I got a more comfortable one I stated wearing it all the time.

[@12STONESADVENTURES]

Since you've made this video the fishing cabin has been burned down 😩 and I personally named and pinned Moccasin Creek Falls on Google maps lol... Falls is one of my favorite places on earth, and the first place I ever kayaked. Great video!

[@Kayak7seas]

Oh no.. how sad. I'm surprised I didn't see something about it in one of the NC kayaking facebook pages.

[@12STONESADVENTURES]

@@Kayak7seas River Daisy posted about it this week.

[@Kayak7seas]

@@12STONESADVENTURES Found the post, such a shame people go around trashing places.

[@12STONESADVENTURES]

@@Kayak7seas yes sir it is very sad! Have a blessed day👍

[@adamstogdale1906]

To anyone looking to go the cabin has been burned down and is now just a pile of metal roofing

[@Kayak7seas]

yeah I heard, that is a shame... it was such a cool little place.

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

So you were recognized from your videos on KZbin by a fan. That's pretty cool. I only get recognized from the wanted posters hanging at the post office and that episode on America's Most Wanted. I tell them they're confusing me with someone else and to shut up or I'll kill them with a claw hammer like I did those other people. Nice fall colors around that reservoir. Seems the new kayaks are working well. Great video.

[@Kayak7seas]

We're taking these with us to FL, I'm curious how they'll handle the IRL when it get choppy

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

@@Kayak7seas Well they should do well in the wind because of the low profile compared to a canoe or even a sit inside kayak. I don't know how their primary and secondary stability are but I'm assuming the hull design is very similar to any other kayak or even more stable since fisherman use them so much. They aren't made for speed so that should have been replaced by stability in the design. You are definitely going to get splashed some if there's a chop on the water which there usually is in the lagoon. My pet peeve is paddling in high winds. If the forecast wind gust are over 20 mph I won't even go out. It's not uncommon this time of year to have a sustained wind of between 10-20 on the open water of the IRL. Mid-afternoon is the worst as you know and it's going to be out of the NE all day. Lot's of sheltered areas but it can still be a real hassle if you have to go across any open water. Let me know how they perform.

[@Kayak7seas]

@@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld We may put this on our December agenda: www.visitspacecoast.com/event/satellite-beach-christmas-supkayak-boat-parade

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

@@Kayak7seas I went out canoeing on Christmas day (night) last year and made a video called "Canoeing on Christmas in the Grand Canal of Satellite Beach, Florida" because they do it up big here with all the lights on the water and I wanted to get video of how cool it looked. The parade is even better but I didn't participate last year. I hope to be able to make another video this year as a participant in this flotilla and film it in 1080p instead of the crappy 480p I used before. It's really something to behold. The launch site on the SE side of the Pineda Causeway is less than a mile from my condo.

[@KMlynczak1]

The bypass tunnels are permanently closed off by fencing after many decades of access. The new owners of the dam have determined that they must be your nanny rather than you take responsibility for yourself. Quote from Eagle Creek Renewable Energy (formerly Cube Hydro): "It is in the best interest of the company and the public’s safety that the tunnels are and remain fenced and inaccessible." The dam and lakes are now owned by the Province of Ontario, Canada (owner of Ontario Power Generation, parent company of Eagle Creek Renewable Energy).

[@Kayak7seas]

How sad, it appears now both the fishing cabin and tunnels highlighted in this video are no longer there for a paddlers enjoyment, what's next someone damn up the waterfall ? Thank you for letting me know, I'm certainly glad i did have a chance to enjoy the cave before it was closed off.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

That tunnel is awesome! What’s at the end? Reminds me of old mining tunnels I have hiked in Bear Mountain in NY. So cool you can kayak in there.

[@Kayak7seas]

There is a waterfall back there, however it is really dark and even with our lights it was difficult to see.

[@anthonybarbour43]

Love Falls Reservoir. My wife and I kayak camped up there back in early spring. There is another cave on the opposite bank across from the launch. It's a bit tough to get to though.

[@Kayak7seas]

Night have to look for it the next time.

[@spectre4130]

What size kayak do you recommend for this area? 12 ft or 10ft?

[@christophershoe9642]

its pronounced Baiden, not Batden. (Badin) it's french

[@Kayak7seas]

I guess you can tell I'm not a local :D, thanks for the correction.

[@christophershoe9642]

@@Kayak7seas no worries, great video🤙

[@ryangrubbs9260]

Not trying to be rude but it’s pronounced Bae-din.

[@Kayak7seas]

I appreciate the correction. Sorry I got it wrong in this video, I guess it shows we weren't local. I promise when we go back we'll get the pronunciation right.
