September: 2019 Water Quality Monitoring season completed

Our 19th year of monitoring water quality in the White River wrapped-up on Wednesday, September 4. WRP staff and trained volunteers have been monitoring 3 indicators of water quality at 22 swimming holes every other Wednesday during the summer months. Data results are available the Thursday afternoon following each biweekly test date; results for the 2019 monitoring season will be posted on our website and on the WRP Facebook page.

To learn more about water quality trends in the White River watershed, read the 4-page 2018 White River Water Quality Report.

Available Now: White River Watershed Recreation Map & Guide

The new White River Watershed Recreation Map & Guide is hot-off-the-presses! The WRP worked with several partners to create a printed, waterproof map that highlights access points, paddling trips, tubing routes, fishing tips, hiking trails, and more along the White River and its five major tributaries: First Branch, Second Branch, Third Branch, West Branch, and Tweed River – nearly 110 miles of river exploration!

Proceeds from the sale of the map will support our efforts to protect and improve the White River Water Trail.

Maps are on sale now for $7.95/each plus shipping & handling. Follow this link to buy your copy today!

Or join the WRP in 2019 and receive 1 free copy of the map. Follow this link to learn more.
