Guided New River Snorkel 8/27/22

Join MountainTrue’s High Country water team and take the plunge to explore the unique ecosystems of the New River on a guided snorkel trip!

Much like ocean reef snorkeling, river snorkeling allows you an unparalleled viewpoint to explore all the nooks and crannies of your local river. By peeking under the water, you can find yourself swimming alongside darting fish or face-to-face with the tiny insect larvae that feed them. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of a Hellbender. MountainTrue will provide snorkels, view buckets (pictured above), and waders.

For people who have previously joined a MountainTrue Guided River Snorkel, we have added the exciting new addition of view buckets! View buckets (also known as aqua scopes) can best be described as water telescopes, helping the viewer see clearly into the river while standing on land. This helps us to better view the river ecosystem without startling the aquatic organisms in the process.

Event location: Brookshire Park in Boone, NC (250 Brookshire Rd, Boone, NC 28607)

**Please, no children under 13 and we ask that all participants know how to swim.
