Abstract:

The headwaters of the Tuckasegee River begin in Panthertown Valley high in Jackson County. From there it rushes down through rugged Bonas Defeat Gorge. Here the rough currents and swirling gravel have cut holes through the rocks in the gorge through countless eons. Downstream the river slows making it ideal for canoeing and excellent for fishing. The river eventually empties into Fontana Lake. Once badly polluted, the Tuckasegee is fast becoming the rejuvenated centerpiece of the region.
