Fonta Flora State Trail
100-mile trail Connecting Buncombe, McDowell & Burke Counties
Fonta Flora President Kenny Greene and Executive Director Shelley McKechnie present a check for $150K to Burke County Commissioners to help build a pedestrian trail across the Canal Bridge. Fonta Flora is partnering with Burke County, the Overmountain Victory State Trail, and the NC DOT on this key safety initiative.
Fonta Flora Official pup (named Pig, naturally) sports the new Fonta Flora bandanna. Special offer: Become a Fonta Flora member or renew your membership while onsite at the Old Fort Trails and Trains festival on June 6, and get your free bandanna. Go big, match Pig!
Friends and Neighbors of Swannanoa (FANS) has launched a $200K study for a 6.9-mile greenway which will be a key part of the Fonta Flora. Here at Fonta Flora, we’re working closely with the FANS team.
The Vision
Located in Western North Carolina, the 100-Mile Fonta Flora State Trail will connect Morganton to Asheville with hiking and biking trails along waterways including the Catawba River, Lake James, and the Swannanoa River. It’ll meander through the mountains and into downtowns.
