Abstract:
The wild, free-running Horsepasture River flows through Jackson and Transylvania Counties and drops 2,000 feet in 14.8 miles. Plans to build a controversial power plant on it have been delayed for three years while the federal government considers it for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic River Program. Water diverted to the plant along a 2.5 mile stretch would diminish the water flow in five scenic waterfalls. No other state river has so many waterfalls in so short a stretch.

Abstract:
The Chattahooga River, which runs through western portion of our state, is apt to become much more familiar to North Carolinians through its projected inclusion by Congress in a system of National Wild and Scenic Rivers. The system will be modeled on the current network of national parks and national historic monuments with which many North Carolinians are familiar. Governors of the four states through which the river runs have given their public support for the river's inclusion, as have representatives from many outdoorsmen's organizations.

Abstract:
In August, President Clinton designated Wilson Creek in Avery and Caldwell counties as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The goal of this designation is to preserve the character of the river, including its free-flowing state. Wilson Creek has been called a whitewater boater’s dream and premier paddling destination.
