Courtesy of the River Kings, there is a series of excellent video guides to the Haw River Paddle Trail available on YouTube. The videos serve as a great preview for paddling various parts of the river. Note that they combine the river sections differently than outlined on the HRT website, but cover the same areas. The River Kings do a great job providing a map overview of what to expect in each section, including important safety information, with the videos following the narrator as he paddles the key parts of each section.
