The Shallow Ford was an important ford in the Yadkin River that allowed Native Americans, frontiersmen, settlers and buffalo to cross the Yadkin river. It has a hard rock bottom that spans an area of 100 feet wide and 300 feet across the river from bank to bank. It also greatly helped farmers to cross with their heavily laden wagons.
