There is a gravel road that passes under 441 in the historic Town of Dillsboro that leads to a small public boat launch for non motorized boats. People who kayak, canoe, tube or raft love getting on the Tuckasegee River from this site. Scotts Creek flows into the Tuckasegee at this point and there’s several nice areas to just sit and watch the water. Winding through the park to the other side leads one back under 441 in a different place and there’s a walking path to another small park with playground equipment for children.
The Dillsboro Town Council made the entranceway to this little park very attractive with the addition of a new Dogwood Tree. Our local paper often reports on the various town council meetings in all of the little towns around Jackson County. Usually though they are reporting on contentious meetings and people behaving badly. Wouldn’t it be more pleasant and better for everyone if just once in a while the paper would report on the good choices they council does make in keeping our areas beautified with the trees and plantings?
