Highway 268 Fishing and Canoeing Access
There are 4 navigable rivers within our borders. The goal of this project is to build 1 of the 13 needed river accesses in Surry County, which will give the public access to waterways, and will be accomplished through a partnership with NC Wildlife.
Counties Impacted:
- Surry County
The development of this river access will open up opportunities on the Ararat River. This will be the first access of many allowing the public to have access to our waterways. Additionally, this proposal includes the opportunity to supply signs teaching the ethics of “Leave No Trace,” “Pack it in, Pack it out,” and “Take only photographs, and leave only footprints.” This philosophy has worked well at other accesses throughout Surry County.
- Daniel White, Director of Parks and Recreation
