Hike to the Headwaters!

  • Saturday, September 10 | 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM
  • South Mountain State Park
  • 3001 South Mtn Connelly Springs, NC 28612

At the beginning of the year we kicked off the Riverkeeper Learning Series with a hike at Catawba Falls, the headwaters of the Catawba River. This month join us at South Mountain State Park for a morning hike near the headwaters of the South Fork River of the Catawba. We’ll share information about the South Fork River and why this park is considered the headwaters or place of origin for this river. Trailhead specifics will be sent out in an email the week of the event, but expect a moderate level hike with uphill portions.

Happy Earth Month! While every month is Earth Month here at Catawba Riverkeeper, we’re excited about the extra attention and enthusiasm for protecting our local environment that comes every April! Throughout this month, we're amplifying our efforts to spread awareness and provide a variety of options for you to get out and learn from, engage in, or advocate for the preservation, protection, and restoration of our shared waterways. Because of that, our calendar is jam-packed with public and private cleanups, guided tours, education programing, outreach events, and fun activities at Confluence & The River Room all month long. Just take a look at some of the events we have going on! In honor of Earth Month, we hope that you engage with us in some of these events by volunteering your time to clean up our water, learning more about issues affecting our water, and sharing our work and mission with other people as ambassadors. If you'd like to make an Earth Month contribution to Catawba Riverkeeper, you can give to our Spring Education Appeal, help us purchase a new Catawba Riverkeeper vehicle, or attend our Ambassador Training and represent us at events throughout the year. Our work is not possible without the support of people like you. We are only a drop in the bucket of worldwide water conservation efforts, but with the support of people like you, we can make mighty waves of change! Thank you in advance for your support, and happy Earth Month!
