Paddling the New River On our summer vacation, my family and I went to West Jefferson for a kayak trip down the New River. The New River is the oldest river in the United States. It is different from any other river because New River flows from south to north. The mountain views are breathtaking, water crystal clear and the sky that day was a Carolina blue. On the way down the river, we could see baby trout swimming below the surface of the water. Our favorite site was this old historic grist mill. We have discovered that we do not need to go outside of North Carolina for vacation trips. We have one of the most beautiful states in America and plan to explore a new site each summer.
