The even grade along the river made for an excellent railroad route and has become a well-known bike and running route today. Residents and visitors can enjoy its natural beauty as the river slowly flows by farms, meadows and woodlands providing animal and fish habitats. Paddlers, tubers and fishermen and women enjoy the outdoor recreation that the river provides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New River is said to be the second oldest river in the world actually pre-dating the Appalachian Mountains.\u00a0The New River\u00a0starts as two rivers in mountains of northwest North Carolina &#8211; the South Fork and the North Fork &#8211; before\u00a0they\u00a0join&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":97,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-101","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/101\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/97"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toddnc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
