To think what history these mesmerizing, powerful, and ancient bodies of water have witnessed and produced is amazing. North Carolina is home to one of the oldest rivers in the world and also two rivers that led early explorers to the banks of what would soon be America. It’s safe to say there is definetly something incredible about these ten rivers below.
