French Broad Gorge Whitewater Rafting Trip

Overview

The French Broad river spans 218 miles from Rosman, North Carolina through Asheville, and toward the state of Tennessee. Section 9 of the French Broad river starts approximately 45 minutes away from Asheville near Marshall, North Carolina and runs through the Pisgah National Forest. The majority of French Broad Section 9 flows through protected lands, and is beginner-friendly. Your guide will navigate you through approximately 5 miles of Section 9, where you will raft through class II and class III difficulty levels, and you may briefly encounter class IV drops depending on the time of year, and the amount of rainfall. This tour combines an incredible stretch of exciting and continuous rapids with some of the most breathtaking scenery around.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun! Our guide was super good with explaining what to expect and the do’s and don’t’s for our kayak trip! We will definitely book something else when we return to Asheville.

Had a wonderful time. Our guide, Gage, was great! There were five of us and we had a blast. The day was sunny, warm and the river was a little higher than normal. I would recommend to anyone for a great afternoon on the river!
