FRENCH BROAD BASIN the Cherokee Indians Already Had Countless Names for the French Broad River by the Time White Huntsmen First Approached This Mountain Region RIVER FRENCH BROAD BASIN The Cherokee Indians already had countless names for the French Broad River by the time white huntsmen first approached this mountain region.

In fact, the tallest mountain east of the Mississippi 393,795 River rises from this basin—Mount Mitchell stretches 6,684 feet skyward. Cold Mountain, (2000 U.S. Census) immor talized by the novel and film of the same name, rises 6,030 feet above the Shining Rock Wilderness area. The French Broad originates from a tiny waterfall (left); The French Broad River Basin drains land in both North Carolina and Tennessee. Besides the the basin’s Mount Mitchell French Broad River, the basin includes two other major watersheds in North Carolina: the Pigeon is the tallest peak in the and Nolichucky rivers—tributaries that join the French Broad in Tennessee.

This is an update of a document developed in 2005, the French Broad River Basin Watershed Restoration Plan. The 2005 plan selected twenty-nine watersheds to be targeted for stream, wetland and riparian buffer restoration and protection and watershed planning efforts. This plan retains twenty-seven of these original watersheds, plus presents an additional two Targeted Local Watersheds (TLWs) for the French Broad River Basin. Two 2005 TLWs (East Fork North Toe River and French Broad River and North Toe River/Bear Creek/Grassy Creek) were gardens, Mitchell County not re-targeted in this document due to a re-evaluation of local priorities.

  • Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions
    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

Newfound Gap Road (US 441), which travels north from Cherokee, North Carolina, to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, forms the backbone of the park and climbs to over 5,000 feet at Newfound Gap. If national parks have specialties, the Smokies is known as a hiker’s park. The scenery is diverse: mountain views, old-growth trees, waterfalls, streams, and more shades of green than a paint chart. Mile for mile, you’ll Segment 1 | 2 find hiking in the park easier than in the neighboring national forests. Even though there are no blazes on Smokies trails, they are so well marked at every intersection that you can follow them with confidence. (Still, stop at a Visitor Center and pick up a Great Smoky Mountains Trail Map for $1.00.) The Smokies may be the most visited national park in the country but only the roads and parking lots are congested. With over 800 miles of trails, even popular trails are not very busy. The trails in the Smokies are well maintained and well marked. Hikers will appreciate that they’re in a na- tional park. The Smokies, in a temperate rainforest, have a great variety of wildflowers, from the first bloodroot in March to the last asters in Octo- ber, as well as more tree species than all of Europe.

  • Vegetation Differences in Neighboring Old-Growth
    ABSTRACT B. CLAY JACKSON. Vegetation Differences in Neighboring Old Growth and Second Growth Rich Coves in the Joyce Kilmer Wilderness Area: A Thirty-two-year Perspective. (Under the direction of H. Lee Allen). I surveyed vegetation in neighboring old growth and second growth rich coves in the Joyce Kilmer Wilderness Area, North Carolina. This data, combined with data from three previous studies, provide a 32 year perspective of stand structure, species frequencies of occurrence at the 1 m2 scale, and species richness at the 1 m2 scale. I sampled one 0.1 ha plot in each cove. I subdivided each plot into ten 10 m by 10 m modules and sampled percentage cover of all species present in each module, plus stem diameter for woody stems. Additionally, I sampled presence absence in a variety of subplots at scales of 0.01 m2, 0.1 m2, 1 m2, 10 m2, and 100 m2. A cohort of 30-40 cm diameter at breast height Liriodendron tulipifera trees dominated the second growth cove, while the old growth site had a broader mix of species with an inverse J-shape diameter distribution. In both rich coves, the frequencies of occurrence at 1 m2 appeared highly variable for individual species between sample years and distances of 200 m or less. The four studies provided species richness comparisons at the 1 m2 scale between the old growth and second growth (at ages 16, 35, 39, and 47 years). I concluded that the differences in second growth species richness between studies demonstrated rich cove forest succession. High species richness following disturbance reflected a surge of opportunistic species (age 16).

  • Authorize Dan River State Trail
    HOUSE BILL 360: Authorize Dan River State Trail. 2021-2022 General Assembly Committee: House Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the Date: April 22, 2021 House Introduced by: Reps. K. Hall, Carter Prepared by: Kellette Wade Analysis of: First Edition Staff Attorney OVERVIEW: House Bill 360 would authorize the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (Department) to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System. CURRENT LAW: The State Parks Act provides that a trail may be added to the State Parks System by the Department upon authorization by an act of the General Assembly. All additions are required to be accompanied by adequate authorization and appropriations for land acquisition, development, and operations. BILL ANALYSIS: House Bill 360 would authorize the Department to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System as a State Trail. The use of any segment of the trail crossing property not owned by the Department's Division of Parks and Recreation would be governed by the laws, rules, and policies established by that segment's owner. This addition would be exempt from having to be accompanied by adequate appropriations for land acquisition, development, and operations. Lands needed to complete the trail would be acquired either by donations to the State or by using existing funds in the Land and Water Fund, the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, and other available sources of funding. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act would be effective when it becomes law. BACKGROUND: The Dan River is important to North Carolina, flowing 214 miles through Virginia and North Carolina, crossing the state line 8 times.

  • Shining Rock and Grassy Cove Top Hike
    Old Butt Knob Trail and Shining Creek Trail Loop - Shining Rock Wilderness, Pisgah National Forest, NC Length Difficulty Streams Views Solitude Camping 11.9 mls Hiking Time: 8 hours with 2 hours of breaks Elev. Gain: 3,410 ft Parking: Park at the Big East Fork Trailhead on U.S. 276. 35.36583, -82.81786 By Trail Contributor: Zach Robbins The Old Butt Knob Trail and Shining Creek Trail loop is a classic introduction to the Shining Rock Wilderness Area of North Carolina. Beginning at the Big East Fork Trailhead on U.S. 276, both trails climb from 3,384 feet to meet the Art Loeb Trail above 5,800 feet at Shining Rock Gap. Despite the relatively short length of this loop (9.4 miles including Shining Rock), this is a difficult day hike for hikers of all abilities. The Old Butt Knob Trail climbs over 1,400 feet in the first mile, and the Shining Creek Trail is incredibly rocky and steep over its last mile. Despite the hardship, this is an excellent backpacking loop with outstanding campsites and even better views. The Old Butt Knob Trail features multiple views from southern-facing rock outcrops, and the views from Shining Rock and Grassy Cove Top are some of the highlights of the wilderness. Even though this is a wilderness area, this is in close proximity to Asheville and is popular with weekend backpackers. Try to start early if you want to camp at Shining Rock Gap, which is one of the best campsites in the region and is also the crossroads for 4 trails within the wilderness.
