\"\"American Rivers has helped to transform\u00a0Hitchcock Creek<\/a>\u00a0in Rockingham, North Carolina into a destination for fishing, boating, and other family-friendly recreation. Until 2009, the Steeles Mill dam degraded Hitchcock Creek, blocking migrating fish and preventing the community from safely enjoying the river through recreation.<\/p>\n

American Rivers and our partners removed the dam, and created a 14 mile Blue Trail. As part of this effort, the City of Rockingham protected 100 acres of bottomland forest along the Blue Trail, purchased two river access areas, and acquired a boat launch.<\/p>\n

Starting in Rockingham, the\u00a0Hitchcock Creek Blue Trail<\/a>\u00a0offers paddlers an opportunity to explore the area\u2019s diverse floodplain forests, historic mills remnants, and rare plants and animals.<\/p>\n
