Everything about The Tuckasegee River totally explained
The
Tuckasegee River (also frequently spelled
Tuckaseegee) flows in western
North Carolina, USA. It begins its course in
Jackson County, at the
confluence of Panthertown and Greenland Creeks. It flows in a northwesterly direction into
Swain County, where it enters the
Little Tennessee River.
The current name evolved from the original Cherokee name Taskegi-agi River, which means "Place of the Taskekee People." The Taskekee (Woodpecker People) were a branch of the Muskogeans (Creeks) who lived in the region prior to the arrival of the Cherokees in the late 1600s. Some Taskekees fled to central Alabama, where they were known as Tuskegees.
Canoeing, rafting and
kayaking are among the recreational opportunities along the river.
