Top Instagram-worthy spots in NC: Tuckasegee River

In the North Carolina mountain towns, there are many Instagram-worthy scenic views.

Also known as “the Tuck,” the Tuckasegee River’s pristine mountain water flows almost the entire length of Jackson County. Beloved for its beauty and many recreational opportunities, the Tuckasegee is the perfect place for fishing, paddling, kayaking, whitewater rafting, tubing and canoeing.

Whether you want to capture your experience of floating the calm stretches, paddling through whitewater gorges, plunging at a riverside park, combing the smooth river pebbles along the shallow shore, or hiking to a secluded sun-bathing rock, you’re sure to snap a fantastic shot.
