The Western North Carolina Alliance will present a talk and pictures about canoe camping from their recent 11 day, 122 mile paddle trip down the French Broad River. Canoe camping is one of the most enjoyable ways to get out and enjoy the outdoors and the French Broad River is an excellent place to start. The purpose of this latest paddle trip was to monitor and raise awareness about the water quality of the French Broad River, while also giving people an opportunity to explore it as seldom have.
The Western North Carolina Alliance is working to create a paddle trail along the river to make multi day trips down the French Broad River a much more realistic option. The talk will also feature advice and gear suggestions to make your paddle trip much more enjoyable. Prizes will be given out at the presentation.
