Thanks to a generous grant and contributions, RiverLink is excited to release the new comprehensive French Broad River Paddle Trail enjoyment map and app.
The map and app consists of 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. The map and app offer all the things you will need to plan your river trip, be it a day trip or a longer overnight stay. The app geo-locates you wherever you are in the watershed.
The app is now downloadable from iTunes, in the Google Play Store for 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 influenced the French Broad watershed.
