About the broad river
The Broad River is a major tributary of the Savannah River in the southeastern United States. It is approximately 150 miles long and flows through the states of North Carolina and South Carolina. The river has a rich history, serving as a vital transportation route for Native Americans and European settlers during the colonial era. Today, the river is used primarily for hydroelectricity generation, with several notable dams and reservoirs along its length, including Lake Lure, Lake Greenwood, and Lake Murray. Additionally, the river supports a variety of recreational activities, such as fishing, boating, and hiking, as well as agricultural uses, including irrigation and livestock grazing. The Broad River is an important natural resource in the region, providing both economic and ecological benefits.
