Abstract:

South Fork of the New River is a part of the oldest river system in North America. The gentle mountain river remains one of North Carolina's best-kept travel secrets providing the perfect setting for leisurely canoeists and nature and wildlife enthusiasts. The river is in danger from both ends due to rapid development around Blowing Rock and Boone, and from efforts of the Appalachian Power Company of Virginia seeking to permit damming.
