About this river

Cashie River

The Cashie River, located in northeastern North Carolina, is a 56-mile-long tributary of the Chowan River. Historically, the river served as an important transportation route for Native Americans and early settlers. Today, the river is largely used for agricultural purposes, with crops like tobacco and corn being grown on its banks. Additionally, there are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Cashie Dam and the Millpond Dam, which provide water for irrigation and recreational activities like fishing and boating. Despite its importance to the local economy, the Cashie River has faced challenges in recent years, including pollution and drought, which have impacted both its ecological and economic health.
