We are heading up to the South Mountain foothills for a fun paddle on the cool shady waters of the First Broad River. Just downstream from the South Mountain Game Lands and one of our few Outstanding Resource Waters, this is some of the cleanest and life-filled water in the Broad River basin. The water is likely to be pretty shallow and “bony”, that is, we will be scraping and dragging over quite a few rocks and gravel beds.
Join us for the 6th annual Broad River Race Day! We welcome folks to race at their own pace and enjoy these 5 miles on the most beautiful stretch of the Broad River. Remember, the hare may not always outrun the tortoise!
Join the Broad Riverkeeper for a clean-up of the Broad River on one of the most popular and scenic sections, Lake Houser to Broad River Greenway, about 5 miles of river with some small class I-II rapids.
Want to register for the 5th Annual Virtual Broad River Fishing Tournament? Go on your own or with your friends to your favorite locations on the Broad River or any tributary. You can fish one day or all week long! The Bass Shack in Shelby is sponsoring the event this year and is offering prizes for Broad’s Best Angler and Biggest Bass.
All are welcome to join us on this lovely section of the river that Sarah Spencer held dear to her heart. While paddling the shallow, shaded, cool waters between rock cliffs and rhododendrons, Sarah would always stop to pick up any litter along the way. Sarah, Beejay, Billy, and Davey died tragically in 2016 in a car accident. This event is in remembrance and honor of these friends and their love for our river.

This event has been CANCELED. Join your Broad Riverkeeper, David Caldwell, and MountainTrue's Resilient Forest Director, Josh Kelly, for a half-day hike up one of the Old CC Roads in the South Mountains. These roads were originally built in the 1930s as Civilian Conservation Corps projects during the Great Depression. They now lie in the 21,000 acre South Mountain Game Lands.
We'll speak about the importance of maintaining these pristine headwaters of the First Broad River, which is Cleveland County's drinking water supply. Josh will discuss our Forest programs and help us identify flora and fauna.
