Abstract:

"Western North Carolina's iconic watershed continues its journey of preservation and growth into the future." In 2022, the French Broad Partnership determined this river adds about $3.8 billion annually to municipalities and counties along its watershed. The French Broad is a paradise for canoers and kayakers. Currently under construction along the river is the Woodfin Greenway and Blueway, a $34 million project, which includes a 10-foot wide hiking/biking trail spanning five miles.
