Broad River Valley
The French Broad River
Headwaters Outfitters proudly acknowledges the birth of the French Broad River right at our property, dubbed by the locals as "The Forks of the River". This is where its North and West Forks merge together just outside of Rosman, North Carolina beginning its long and northeasterly journey to the Gulf of Mexico. The French Broad is the third oldest river in the world, older than the mountains from which it flows. Only the Nile and the New River, which is also located in North Carolina, predate it. Flowing 210 miles round about and through the mountains of Western North Carolina makes it the longest river in North Carolina. After dropping out of the mountains into Tennessee it soon joins up with the Holston River to create the Tennessee River.
The portion of this great waterway on which we operate contains wide shorelines and slow-moving currents, ideal for families or the first time canoeist. The banks are lined with mossy sycamores, flowering dogwood, elderberry, blackberries, tulip poplars, dozens of songbirds, and an endless array of wildflowers, along with abundant wildlife to view.
This river inspired Wilma Dykeman to write in her book,
The French Broad:
"Which is the time to know the river? April along the French Broad is a swirl of sudden water beneath the bending buds of spicewood bushes, a burst of spring and a breath of sweetness between the snows of winter and the summer sun. August is a film of dust on purple asters along the country roads of the lower river, and green stillness of heavy shade splattered with sunlight beside the upper river. October is to flame, A Renaissance richness of red and amber, Septembers end and Novembers beginning."
