Welcome to the
Little Tennessee River Greenway

The Little Tennessee River Greenway is one of more than a thousand such trails snaking their way across America turning old canals, abandoned railbeds and forgotten riverbanks into green recreational corridors.

The Greenway represents a voluntary local strategy to preserve scenic, natural, historic, cultural and recreational resources and promotes increased public access to the Little Tennessee River through the creation of riverside parks and trails.

Please take the time to stroll through our site and discover what the Greenway has to offer, how you can participate, and other information on this beautiful area of western North Carolina.

Butterfly Discovery Walk July 8th

Robert Preston will lead us in a butterfly Discovery Walk on July 8th, meeting at Frog Quarters at 10 am. A pair of low power binoculars may allow you to catch the details of these sometimes skittish creatures. Children are welcome on our Discovery Walks.

New Water Feature Hours

Now that the water shortage has abated somewhat, we will begin running the Water Feature at Big Bear Park longer hours: from 10 am to 7 pm each day. There is a timeout and the sprays will stop if no one is on the water court for a time. The sprays may be restarted by lightly pushing the button on top of the yellow post. Please give the machinery one minute to begin the sprays. Last year impatient children (and adults) caused a failure to the restarting mechanism. The water feature was out of commission for five weeks. Be gentle.
