Get on the Bus - with Asheville's Riverlink

RiverLink's Bus Tours begin again this month. The RiverLink Bus Tour offers answers about Asheville's past, present and future: What is the Wilma Dykeman RiverWay Plan and what does it hold for Asheville's future? What are the plans for the old Cotton Mill down on Riverside Drive? How did the Flood of 1916 change the river area landscape?

The next tour will be Thursday, Sept. 15, when the public is invited to tour the French Broad and Swannanoa Rivers with RiverLink. The tour departs from the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce parking area. Participants should arrive at about 11:45 so that the tour may start promptly at noon.

This is an opportunity to see the improvements that have occurred recently and hear what will be coming over the next several months and years to make our rivers better places to work, live and play. You will learn some local history and visit some streets and neighborhoods you have never seen before.


The tour begins and ends at the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce, 36 Montford Avenue, and is free for RiverLink members. Non-members cost $15 per person. Lunch is not provided but you may bring your own. Reservations are required online or call 828-252-8474 ext. 11.
