Get ready for an exciting day full of kayaking trips, waterfall rappelling, treks, cold beer, and good music when the Spring Green Bash — Saluda's favorite river and block party — returns on Saturday, May 4th!

Join us on the Upper section of the Green River (class III) on May 5th and/or May 25th and become a member of the Paddlers Hemlock Health Action Taskforce (PHHAT).
This collaboration between the Hemlock Restoration Initiative, American Whitewater, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, and MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper utilizes experienced whitewater paddlers to treat trees along the Green River. We use a custom protocol to protect hemlock trees from infestation and death by the woolly adelgid (a non-native sap-sucking insect), whilst ensuring the safety and protection of water quality.
Join MountainTrue's French Broad Paddle Trail Manager, Jack Henderson, for a presentation and discussion focused on the history, current status, and upcoming opportunities for growth along the French Broad Paddle Trail here in North Carolina and Tennessee.
This talk will educate attendees on what Paddle Trail staff and partners do, where funding comes from and how it's used, the importance of equitable access, and some of the current projects we're most excited about.
Come learn about the history, present condition, and opportunities for growth facing the French Broad Paddle Trail in Henderson County and abroad. Placed in the context of challenges from proposed dams, degraded water quality, and short-sighted growth, the French Broad River is an ongoing success story due to the work of passionate local communities, well-organized advocacy campaigns, and strong partnerships between non-profits, government agencies, and local businesses.
The community is invited to attend the Lake Adger Celebration, a free, family-friendly event. Come on out and celebrate the lake! The Celebration will be fun for the whole family with guided kayak tours, fishing demonstrations, guided bird walks, activities for kids, and more!
Join us at Valle Crucis Community Park as we celebrate the launch of the 2024 Swim Guide Season.

This is also a chance to meet our hard-working Water Team Staff, corporate sponsors, and other volunteers!
