So much to do here: walk or bicycle on the five-mile mostly level path along the river, kayak, bird watching, or simply chill. The greenway offers a cornucopia of wildflowers and wildlife.
The meandering path reflects the extraordinarily rich diversity of Franklin’s landscape. Visitors experience wetlands, stroll through two railroad cuts left behind by the Tallulah Falls Railroad, wander alongside an old pasture, catch sight of the desert agave, and experience the upland woods.
This marvelous asset began as a dream. Many residents, including members of the Nantahala Hiking Club, looked at this long stretch of uninhabited land along side the river and pictured a place to preserve our landscape while offering expanded recreational opportunities for our community.
