 Get
a close-up view of history when you canoe, kayak or charter a batteau
down the
Dan
River Batteau NavigationTrail,
North
Carolina's nationally significant batteau navigation system in Rockingham County, NC.
Recognized by the National Register of
Historic Places, the trail features 33
fascinating navigational structures
including sluices, wing dams and landings
designed to enable boats to maneuver the
rapids. Stone fish weirs, believed to have
been built by Amerindians as many as 1000
years ago, were modified much later to
improve navigation. Download the
front and
back of the Dan River Batteau
NavigationTrail brochure (two pdf files)
to learn more. |
