French Broad Paddle Trail Interactive Map receives funding through the NC Trails Program

RiverLink is thrilled that it has received funding to develop an interactive online map of the French Broad River Paddle Trail. This map will assist paddlers in planning a trip along the 117 miles of the French Broad River, designating river access points, campsite locations and details, additional lodging opportunities, outfitters, shuttles and additional trail services and links. CLICK HERE for more information.

If your business provides services to paddlers, anglers, and other various river adventures, and you would like to be represented on the map please email the form below to: WaterResources@riverlink.org.

RiverLink launches a

new program: Adopt-a-Greenway

RiverLink is recruiting individuals and groups to help maintain its system of greenways through a new Adopt-a-Greenway program. The initiative encourages scouting organizations, civic associations, school and church groups, nature clubs, and businesses seeking community service opportunities to adopt a section of greenway and keep it clear of weeds, sticks, rocks, and other debris for a two-year period. Interested? Contact Dave Russell at 252-8474, ext. 11 or dave@riverlink.org.

RiverLink is now a proud member of Blue Ridge Forever
