The Lynches River is a free-flowing blackwater river that originates in Union County, North Carolina and travels approximately 175 miles until it meets the Great Pee Dee River in southeastern Florence County, South Carolina. Designated as a State Scenic River along a 111-mile stretch from US Highway 15 in Lee County to its confluence with the Great Pee Dee, the Lynches offers exceptional fishing opportunities in a pristine natural setting. The river's diverse habitats—ranging from Piedmont uplands to Coastal Plain floodplain forests—create the perfect environment for a rich variety of fish species. With its clear, dark waters, sandy river bottoms, and winding trails lined by cypress-tupelo swamps and bottomland hardwood forests, the Lynches River provides anglers with both productive fishing and outstanding natural scenery.
