Named after a small, native tribe of North Carolina the Sissipahaw River is the chief head stream of the Cape Fear River watershed. Now lost in the folds of time, in the early 1700s the tribe hunted and farmed a large fertile area just upstream near today’s village of Saxapahaw. Close your eyes and echoes of Sissipahaw traders moving downstream on watercraft with goods precious to coastal tribes top off the autumnal ambience. God’s in his Heaven, all’s right with the world.
