Broad River (Georgia)

The Broad River is a 60.0-mile-long (96.6 km)tributary of the Savannah River in northeastern Georgia. The North Fork of the Broad River begins in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Stephens County, then joins the Middle Fork west of Royston in Franklin County to form the main stem. The Broad River continues south, being joined by the Hudson River flowing from the west out of Franklin County. The Broad then becomes the county line of Madison and Elbert counties as it turns southeast.

As the Broad River flows by Carlton, the South Fork Broad River joins from the west at the junction of Oglethorpe, Madison and Elbert counties. The South Fork originates at Minish's Lake near Danielsville and passes through Watson Mill Bridge State Park, which borders Oglethorpe and Madison counties.

The Broad River continues its flow uninterrupted toward the Savannah, passing Elbert County to the north, and Oglethorpe, Wilkes and Lincoln counties to the south. Most of the Broad River's course runs across the Piedmont Plateau, ending where it flows into the Savannah River in what is now inundated by Lake Strom Thurmond in Elbert County. It remains one of the least developed watersheds in the Georgia Piedmont.
