Description: Starting from the Peak access, you will enjoy a leisurely float on the tree lined Broad River. If you enjoy being alone, this is a very secluded part of the Broad River. You may not see many people, but wildlife such as otters, raccoons, deer, and a variety of birds abound, and possibly an eagle. In the spring you can also enjoy blooming Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies in the shallows.

You can go beyond the Harbison Forest Access to the Highway 20 overpass where it is suggested that you turn around, because just beyond is a diversion dam.

insect repellent is recommended during warm months.

Had alot of fun on the river friday, I did get some sun, but not too bad. The river was high enough that we floated the whole thing and even had some white water a few times. At the last minute we decided to not leave the dogs at home and bring them along... Really good times, here are my pics
