National Rivers Project Coordinator

The National River Project (NRP) has been a core project of RMS since conception. The NRP is a website and tripplanning tool designed to connect paddlers and managers with the National River Recreation Database (NRRD). The NRRD is a geospatial database of Wild & Scenic Rivers, water trails, whitewater rivers, access points and campgrounds within the United States. The National Rivers Project helps users identify, explore and plan trips on rivers within the database, providing comprehensive river recreation and management information to paddlers and resource managers. The National River Project is a result of partnerships with federal managers, state agencies, municipal governments, non-profits, local paddling clubs and individuals, and has active projects with the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and several state agencies and non-profits. River Management Society is grateful for the generosity of these organizations’ time and resources in contribution to this effort.
