About the Green River in Saluda, NC
The Green River in Saluda, NC, flows through the mountains of North Carolina. It is a dam-release river that flows to form the dam-made Lake Summit. It received its name because its water normally has a green hue but can get a brown tint after heavy rain. This river flows into many tributaries across the state and has become a popular spot for exploration. Many take advantage of the whitewater sports opportunities it provides, like kayaking, canoeing, and tubing! Plus, the river is also a favorite of fishermen.
