The Roaring River is a tributary of the Yadkin River in northwestern North Carolina in the United States.[DeLorme (2001). "North Carolina Atlas & Gazetteer". Yarmouth, Maine: DeLorme. ISBN 0-89933-277-3] Via the Yadkin it is part of the watershed of the Pee Dee River, which flows to the Atlantic Ocean. According to the Geographic Names Information System, it has also been known historically as "Roaring Creek." [Gnis|993435|Roaring River] The river's name comes from its headwaters in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where it flows through a series of small waterfalls. ]The Roaring River and its headwater tributaries (its East, Middle and West Prongs [Gnis|984528|East Prong Roaring River] [Gnis|989790|Middle Prong Roaring River] [Gnis|997042|West Prong Roaring River] ) all flow for their entire lengths in Wilkes County, rising in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
