French Broad River Facts
- The French Broad River is the 3rd oldest river in the world! Only the
Nile River & the New River (also in North Carolina) are older.
- The river is older than the Appalachain Mountains, which it flows through.
- The French Broad River was known as the Agiqua, or 'Long Man' by the Cherokee
Indians.
- Five seperate forks form the French Broad; North Fork, West Fork, South
Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork. The forks all converge together right before
the river enters Rosman, North Carolina. Between Rosman and Asheville, the
river is very flat and slow moving.
