Press Release
From RiverLink:
Thanks to a generous grant and contributions from our board of directors RiverLink is excited to release the new comprehensive French Broad River Paddle Trail enjoyment map and app – 13 interactive layers of information to help you identify and locate all the services you will need to enjoy recreating in the French Broad River watershed. We told our design team to make this a
“one stop” application for fun in the French Broad River watershed.Map/app layers include: camping, health & wellness, local attractions, lodging, outfitters, recreation, restaurants, cafes and breweries, river access, river gauge, river hazards and transportation options— all the things you will need to plan your river trip – be it a day trip or a longer overnight stay are on the map and the app. And the app geo-locates you wherever you are in the watershed.
For apple users the app will be downloadable from ITunes in April but all you android users can get it now at Google play or on the RiverLink website NOW.
Along with the French Broad River Paddle Trail map and app we invite you to see, learn and enjoy information at one of the 21 new kiosks we have installed along the watershed that we hope will inspire you about the flora, fauna, history, people and families who helped influence the French Broad watershed.
