About this location
Hap Simpson Park is maintained by the City of Brevard and was recently improved by adding a boat ramp. The park has picnic tables and nice view of the French Broad River. This site is part of the French Broad River Paddle Trail which connects over 140 miles of the French Broad River through paddle in only campsites and access sites. For more information including camp site reservations go to http://wnca.org/paddle/. Samples here are done in collaborative effort between MountainTrue and NC DEQ. NC DEQ takes samples on Thursdays. MountainTrue takes samples on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
