The Yadkin divides the cities of Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro then rolls east through the communities of Roaring River ,Ronda ,Elkin ,Crutchfield and Rockford.It then abruptly turns south and passes just west of Winston Salem ,forming the Yadkin -Forsyth county line .By the time it reaches Yadkin College on the Davie-Davidson county border ,the flow has more than tripled
