Plans for the future park located off Old Cullowhee Road
The Cullowhee Revitalization Endeavor (CuRvE) raised $280 for developing a new park by the river.
“We are planning a river park between the bridge and the dam. There will be some developments by the DOT when the new bridge is done in two years and some development around the dam at the Lena Davis landing site by Duke Power also within the next two years,” says Maurice Phipps, event coordinator and professor at WCU.
The new park could bring more visitors to the Cullowhee area. They plan to make the area around the bridge a new place to spend time in canoes and kayaks with multiple landings and picnic areas.
This year’s canoe slalom had seven different categories which participants could compete in. Listed below are the results:
