Canoeing, kayaking, and fishing are available as well as camping, hiking, and picnicking. The environmental education program for school groups centers around a curriculum packet called the Environmental Education Learning Experience (EELE). The EELE contains pre-visit, on-site and post-site activities that focus on the park's unique natural features and are correlated to North Carolina Department of Public Instruction objectives. Contact the park for more information about the park's EELE and other environmental education programs and activities for the general public. The park now includes two public access areas- Chalk Banks, which is still in the development stage, on the upper end of the river and Princess Anne on the lower section of the river.
