The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to assist with a regional effort to develop and market a paddle trail system along the Tar River in Granville, Vance, Franklin, Nash and Edgecombe counties. When complete, the trail will create a regional network encompassing public parks, scenic byways, Homegrown Handmade routes, hiking trails, bike paths and walkable historic districts, distinguishing the Tar River region as a unique tourism destination.
