--- N.A.W.T.C.- - North American Water Trails Conference
There is some exciting news for paddlers in seeking places to paddle. An
outgrowth of the first international conference held in the Fall of 93 on
the Hudson River, the concept of a continent wide system of water trails is
rapidly moving forward to the reality stage.
The NAWTC is a coalition of private, non-profit, and public
benefit organizations and agencies, who share a common desire;
to build a truly contiguous North American Water Trail system for the
boating public and promoting Ecotourism (a balance of resource
protection, recreational access and user responsibility).
NAWTC is truly national in scope as can be seen by its volunteer officers:
President: David Getchell,Sr. - Maine Island Trail Association,
Vice-President: Franz Gimmler - Chesapeake Water Trail,
Secretary: Sandie Nelson - Washington State Water Trails,
Treasurer: Craig Poole - Hudson River Waterway Association.
Some of these areas already have detailed printed guides to paddling on
their trails such as The Maine Island Trail and the Hudson Waterway's
Paddlers Guide, both of which detail launching spots, camping possibilities
and advice on local conditions and safety concerns.
