These cool mornings have us pretty happy that fall is getting closer. 🍂 We know the Parkway gets all the peak leaf-looking glory, but there’s something about the colorful canopy along the Upper French Broad that hits different.
Plan your fall paddle with us today. 🛶

River update! A lane has been opened on river right through the big blockage on the Upper French Broad near Deerwoode Reserve. Still exercising caution out there — several trees down and some tight passages to navigate between Island Ford and Hap Simpson accesses.
Save the Date. Plan your Trip. The 2027 Forks of the River Fly Fishing & Music Festival is back at @deerwoodereserve March 5-6th.
More details coming soon. Tickets go on sale November 1st. Follow our socials for updates and announcements.
