Haw River access under construction at Old Greensboro Highway

The access on Old Greensboro Highway, which will be called the Union Bridge Paddle Access, is in the final stages of construction before being open to the public, according to Haw River Trail coordinator Guil Johnson.

The staircase and sign installation will be done in January.

This access will complete the Alamance County portion of the Haw River Paddle Trail.

There are seven public access areas for paddlers from Alamance County to Jordan Lake in Chatham County.
