SNORKEL TRAIL KICKOFF EVENT AT THE CATAWBA GREENWAY IN MARION!
Aug 2nd 2:00-3:30pm – People of all ages are invited to join the NC Wildlife Resources Commission at the Sam Phillips Drive side of the Joseph McDowell Historical Catawba River Greenway to learn about the new Blue Ridge Snorkel Trail. Attendees will get to Snorkel with a biologist to discover the fish and other wildlife that call the Catawba River home. All participants are asked to RSVP by emailing andrea.leslie@ncwildlife.org

❗️ Participants are asked to bring a snorkel and mask or swim goggles. A limited number of snorkels will be available to use. All youth under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

♥️ The Blue Ridge Snorkel Trail is an innovative education project that will link together a set of publicly accessible river sites where people can safely snorkel to experience the underwater world of streams and rivers of western North Carolina and beyond. Ten sites will connect people to the underwater worlds of the Catawba, French Broad, Hiwassee, Little Tennessee, and Yadkin river basins. Each site had an educational sign, which provides safety information, a description of notable species at the site, and other information about the trail.
