The journey continues...

Follow the journey: 320 miles of the New

The New River Expedition is part adventure, part field assessment and part love letter to a river that winds through some of the most iconic landscapes in the southern Appalachians.

The expedition supports the continued development of the New River Water Trail, a three-state paddling route designed to connect people with the river’s scenic beauty, wildlife, cultural history and
Appalachian communities.

throughout the watershed in July & August.

With the New River at our feet, think of all that flows our way:

the explorations and adventures, the community, the serenity, the source of life. The New River watershed is home to some of the most biologically diverse species in the world — and its health is interconnected with our own. As a knowledgeable, grateful and passionate protector, the New River Conservancy uses land preservation strategies and science-based restoration programs to protect this irreplaceable national treasure that connects us and feeds us — mind, body, and soul.
