French Broad River Whitewater Rafting

French Broad River Rafting

Family-Friendly Rafting near Asheville, NC

French Broad whitewater rafting trips take you down the world's third oldest river and is a great activity to add to your Asheville vacation. The French Broad flows through scenic Pisgah National Forest in the mountains of North Carolina, and is ideal for families and young teens. On French Broad River rafting trips, you can expect splashy and fun Class II and III rapids. The full-day trip option adds the percussive, Class IV Frank Bell's Rapid, a river-wide, bouncy drop.

"We rafted the French Broad River with Jacob and Mackenzie and had a very nice time. Jacob was knowledgable of the river's history and was extremely mindful of our 8-year-old daughter's safety. Thanks again for making our visit special."
