About the French Broad River
Flowing from the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains through North Carolina and Tennessee, the French Broad River is one of the oldest rivers on Earth—estimated to be over 300 million years old. Its name distinguishes it from the nearby Broad River, reflecting early French settlements along its banks. The river’s waters weave through verdant valleys, supporting rich ecosystems and countless species of fish, birds, and wildlife. Today, it serves as both a recreational paradise and a cultural touchstone for communities like Asheville, known for its vibrant arts scene and mountain charm.
From kayaking and fly-fishing to hiking along its scenic trails, the French Broad River represents the perfect balance between adventure and tranquility. This poster celebrates its timeless natural beauty and enduring role in shaping the landscape and culture of the Southern Appalachians.
