The Hominy Creek Greenway is being created through approximately 12 acres of land along Hominy Creek in West Asheville.

The land was logged by Edwin Carrier in the late 1880?s. It became the route for the West Asheville and Sulphur Springs Railway, his trolley between Asheville and his Sulphur Springs Hotel, the first electric railroad and hydroelectric plant in WNC.The Friends of Hominy Creek Greenway help to maintain this stretch of greenway.

The beach along the greenway is where our samples are taken. This is a popular place to swim and let dogs play in the river.
