French Broad River Asheville

Stand Up Paddle The French Broad River (Asheville)

French Broad River: One of the most popular new activities to hit the Asheville area is the sport of Standup Paddle Boarding-a cross between canoeing and surfing that first got its start in the ocean. Folks here in Asheville prefer to get their kicks on the French Broad River. The slow-moving,12-mile section from Bent Creek Park to Asheville Adventure Rentals takes you through the Biltmore Estate and the River Arts District and is perfect for novice paddlers looking to test their balance on the river. After a nice work-out on the river, be sure to reward yourself with a nice cold one at The Bywater just a stones through away from the take out. Directions from Asheville: We suggest hooking up with Asheville Adventure Rentals to scope out your French Broad options, SUP instruction, and other gear rentals.
