Providing Vital Connections to the River

At RiverLink we want to give people the opportunity to experience the wonder and beauty that is the French Broad River. We believe this will create awareness and a desire to be good stewards of something we know is vital to our environmental, personal and economic well-being. There are no better places to experience the French Broad River than at public parks, floating along the river, or peddling or walking along a greenway. We want everyone in our community to have a genuine connection to the River and to utilize it as a place to live, learn, work, and play. With these projects we hope to create healthier communities and more resilient local economies that will benefit all members of our watershed community.

Karen Cragnolin Park

The 5.33-acre tract of land in the French Broad Park corridor was acquired by RiverLink in 2006. The property had previously been operated as an auto junkyard over a span of 50 years, and has since been remediated to the state of an open space, fenced property. We’re in the closing stages of adopting the Karen Cragnolin Park Master Plan that will mark the next step of progress in transforming a junkyard into a public park. Read More
