The French Broad River in North Carolina

The French Broad is an old, moody meandering river running through western North Carolina.

The river is tree-lined with very old trees that often grow out over the water, creating a sometimes moody dark atmosphere. When the old trees die, they often fall into the river, resulting in quite a bit of debris. The area in the floodplain near the river is usually farmland.

These photos were taken in the counties of Transylvania, Henderson, Buncombe and Madison. They are in order following the river downstream.
