Canoe the French Broad (City)

// March 16th, 2009 // Asheville River

Canoe seven miles of the French Broad River as it meanders from the Bent Creek River Park to the Asheville Outdoor Center River Park. You’ll paddle through the Biltmore Estate, navigate mild rapids, and have plenty of opportunities for cool dips in the French Broad’s deep waters.

Directions from Asheville: We suggest hooking up with the Asheville Outdoor Center (see related resources) for this trip but feel free to head to the Bent Creek River Park on your own. Take 1-240 W to I-26 E to Exit 33. Take a left on to NC 191 towards the Blue Ridge Parkway for 2 miles. The park will be on your left with an actual address of 1592 Brevard Rd.
