In the video, Black Folks Camp Too invites friends to New River State Park, where we explore the park's natural beauty and recreational opportunities. We have a thrilling canoe adventure on the New River and learn about the importance of water safety and how to navigate the river's currents. The journey concludes with some soul food and song as we reflect on a day of canoeing, warm our bones by the fire, and set up camp. Throughout the video, we encourage viewers to explore the outdoors and connect with nature as we inspire the many recreational opportunities available at New River State Park. The adventures and misadventures of the outdoors that are possible are emphasized, as we share the importance of enjoying outdoor activities in a safe and responsible manner - but always still with a smile!
Located in Ashe and Alleghany counties 35 miles northeast of Boone, New River State Park covers seven accesses along this National Wild and Scenic River that flows north through three states. Elk Shoals has a swim beach, and all accesses allow for launching kayaks and inner tubes to paddle or float along the shallow, gentle river. Paddle-in-only campgrounds provide a remote experience. The hellbender - the largest salamander in the U.S. - and 14 species of rare and threatened plant species inhabit the New River valley.
