Dan River Basin Association

Join friends and members of The Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) to enjoy outdoor adventures, to help care for our life-sustaining rivers and streams, and to learn about our many natural, heritage and cultural treasures. DRBA offers river and trail outings for fun and friendship. They create river accesses for boating, floating and fishing, and link people with places by promoting trails and greenways. Opportunities are created for adults and school children to learn about the health of their local streams and to restore local trout fisheries. They actively work to protect the region's heritage, such as the Dan River's batteau navigation system. Enjoying and preserving the unspoiled beauty and rich heritage of this 16–county Piedmont region spanning the North Carolina/Virginia border does more than honor the past and bring pleasure to the current moment. It is key to building sustainable economic improvement in an area dependent on declining agriculture and manufacturing economies. There are so many ways to help. Call DRBA to see how you can volunteer or donate. Then, take a break and join others to float, hike or bike the Dan River Basin's 3300 square miles of breathtaking beauty. You’ll never run out of adventures!
