Description
EN
This is the site of the first Dam and Power House for the New River Light and Power Company. Established in 1915 and out of commission in 1924 it was rather short lived but still a substantial part of the history of Boone, NC. The building is now fenced in due to the unstability of the foundation and occational falling rocks in the building. It is located on the Greenway Trail in Boone which is a nice little paved walking, running, biking and other modes of manual transportation path. The trail cuts through following a branch of the New River. It is easiest to reach from the east end of the trail but is fun from either. The trial is only 2 miles long so not a substantial hike in either direction.
