Throw A Line:
Rent a boat from French
Broad Outfitters that is specially designed for
fishing (we like the locally made Feelfree kayaks) and hit
the water for some fishing fun.Whether covering several
miles in a day or simply heading out to a shady spot where
you can drop an anchor and relax with a cold beverage
while waiting on a fish to bite, you’re sure to have a great
time while kayak fishing on the French Broad.
Bike The RAD: Take a tour of Asheville
at Smoky Mountain Adventure Center can help you get
headed in the right direction. Say ‘Namaste’ to a new you
and a new sense of adventure.With a variety of classes
offered, you’re sure to find one that fits your yoga needs.
From relaxation and meditation, to power and strength,
these yoga classes will aid you in your discovery of
self. Afterwards, enjoy a fresh juice from the juice bar
while enjoying the view from the large outdoor deck
overlooking the French Broad River and Carrier Park.
