About the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin

The Yadkin Pee Dee River basin is North Carolina’s second largest, including 5,862 stream miles and 22,988 lake acres, and spanning 21 counties and 93 municipalities.  The River Basin covers approximately 7,221 square miles of North Carolina. The current population within the basin is about 1.6 million, with an average population density of 222 persons per square mile.

Approximately half of the watershed is forestland, most of it privately owned. Nearly one-third of the watershed is used for agriculture, including cropland (15.6 percent) and pastureland (14.1 percent). Just 13 percent of the land is developed, although this figure is rising rapidly.
