Nearest towns

Town	Distance	Direction to the river
Boone	11.1 mi	south-east

Straight-line distance from the river's midpoint, and the direction you would travel from the town to reach it. The roads are not mapped here, so there is no drive time — a travel time nobody measured is the kind of number that gets somebody lost.

We have no mapped access sites for North Carolina. That is an absence of data and not a statement that there are none — the public ground below is what this page can answer with.

Public land on the water

• Nc Land And Water Fund Project — another state agency, 5.4 mi of this river, 128,384 acres in all, access unrecorded

Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it. The river miles are how far this river's drawn axis runs inside each block, measured here; the acreage is the whole unit's, most of which is nowhere near this water. "Restricted access" and "access unrecorded" are PAD-US's own words for the block, and neither one means open — check before you park.
