About

Where Little River and Middle Prong converge, the Townsend Wye creates a popular swimming area with calm pools and rocky beach. On hot summer days, expect crowds, this is a known destination for river swimming. Arrive early for better parking and space. The water is cold (mountain-fed) and depths vary. A refreshing escape from summer heat.
