There is a good set of paddle trail maps for the Carteret County area 
that is available for free by calling (252) 726-8148 or by e-mailing 
a request to vacation_at_sunnync.com.  The maps were produced by the 
Crystal Coast Canoe and Kayak Club and include many routes in 
protected waters behind the barrier islands.  I'm sure that you could 
stitch several of these together to get a 60 mile trip.

Camping is available on Bear Island (Hammock Beach State Park) and 
all along Shackleford Bank and the Core Banks (barrier islands that 
make up the Cape Lookout National Seashore).  Here are a few web 
sites to get you started:
