SALISBURY, N.C. (WBTV) - The Salisbury-based Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) has announced the recent transfer of a 10-acre boating access area, near the confluence of the South Yadkin and Yadkin River to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC). This boating access area was located on private property owned by the Crowther family, but was operated and maintained by Alcoa (Aluminum Company of America). In 2016, after almost a decade of lawsuits, the Relicensing Settlement Agreement, (RSA) became final which called for this existing launch to be abandoned.
