Paths of Perquimans is a coalition of organizations, formed in 2006, as part of a regional initiative to promote nature tourism in the Albemarle Region. It contributes to enhancing paddling and hiking opportunities in Perquimans County. Its major accomplishment has been the construction of a system of 
paddle camping platforms on the Perquimans River and two tributaries, Mill Creek and Raccoon Creek, through a generous grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation. The Partnership of organizations consists of the Perquimans County Trailblazers, a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting paddling and hiking; the Albemarle Hospital, the major public hospital serving the region; the Albemarle Resource Conservation and Development Council, a regional organization devoted to conserving natural resources, and creating jobs and income for the Albemarle ((252) 482-7437); the Perquimans County Department of Parks & Recreation; and the Towns of Winfall, Hertford, and Belvidere.
