The New River is an ancient river system, the oldest on the North American continent and second only to the Nile River as the oldest river in the world. Beginning as two streams in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the New flows through spectacular, untamed mountain scenery complete with craggy rock cliffs and magnificent gorges.

The New River supports outstanding populations of just about every major freshwater game fish including small mouth, spotted, large mouth, rock, striped, and white bass, muskie, walleye, black crappie, channel and flathead catfish, yellow perch, redbreast sunfish and bluegill.
