This event is part of RiverLink's Paddlin' the Nolichucky, a two week monitoring, education and outreach trip starting on the North Toe River in Spruce Pine, NC and finishing at the mouth of the French Broad River 140 miles downstream near Knoxville, TN. This trip is designed to monitor the water quality of the river, but to also educate the public about the challenges facing the river and highlight the river as a world class recreation destination.

Want to make a whole day of it? Join the Riverkeeper and elected officials from the area for a guided rafting trip down the exciting class II-IV rapids of the Nolichucky gorge.
