McIver Landing is a five-acre Triangle Land Conservancy (TLC) property in the bottomland hardwood forest that provides safe and legal canoe and kayak access to the Deep River. TLC partnered with Deep River Park Association and Rock Rest Adventures to open and maintain the access. Thanks to Progress Energy, the Woodson Family Foundation, the NC Adopt-A-Trail program, and the Pittsboro-Siler City CVB for funding the construction of the access. Thanks also to the John R. McAdams Company, which provided pro bono site design and engineering, and to Rayvon King and the JR Moore & Son store, which stored supplies throughout the project.
The river access is located at the junction of N Plank and Fayetteville Roads off US 421 South, Gulf NC 27256.
