Scuppernong River, Washington County, North Carolina 

The Scuppernong is a blackwater river in northeastern North Carolina. Sixteenth century explorers first noted the large muscadine grapes that grew in this area. The scuppernong grape was named for the river and is the state fruit of North Carolina.  This picture was taken on a cool and rainy Saturday afternoon in December at a river landing near Creswell.
