The National Organization for Rivers (NOR) is a small environmental services nonprofit focused on defending public rights to use navigable rivers in the United States. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, NOR has operated since 1978, concentrating on river law, access, and navigability, and maintains resources that analyze Supreme Court decisions, acts of Congress, and related statutes to support public river use. Its work aims to clarify public rights for activities such as canoeing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, birding, and other non-destructive recreational uses, while addressing land-use issues along riverbanks and promoting river health by conserving adjacent land and sustaining water in rivers. The organization serves individuals and communities who recreate on rivers, as well as those concerned with land and water management along waterways, positioning itself within the environmental services sector as a specialized advocate for public river access and rights.
