Join NCNR on the New River Expedition 2010 for a river-length paddle from July 14 through Aug. 17. Traveling approximately 340 miles in total, and beginning in Watauga County, North Carolina, the Expedition will conclude on August 17, near the New River’s confluence at Gauley Bridge, West Virginia.

Designed to highlight this outstanding natural resource, NCNR will focus attention on the New River, its outstanding beauty and the challenges and threats it faces. Along the way, NCNR’s Executive Director, George Santucci and NCNR Board Member, Henry Doss, will invite friends, supporters, interested parties, elected officials, and members of the media, to join the New River Expedition.
