Green River

Henderson County, NC

The Green River flows through Henderson County, carving the dramatic Green River Gorge in the Saluda area. It is well known for whitewater paddling, with sections ranging from beginner-friendly floats to the extreme Class V Narrows that hosts the annual Green Race. The gorge's tight slots and steep drops make it one of the most celebrated paddling destinations in the Eastern U.S.
