The French Broad River

The French Broad River runs about 200 miles through North Carolina into Tennessee. It is the third-oldest river in the world. (The Nile is the oldest; the New River, also in North Carolina, is the second oldest.)

This 2006 photo by M. David Orr looks north at Walnut Park near Weaverville, North Carolina. BTW, the smallmouth fishing is outstanding. You can even catch 40-inch muskies in this old, old river.
