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.

5.00Great experience all around! We had an amazing time with Laney as our guide, and the river itself was a good compromise for those that had some rafting experience and a few that had none. I would recommend this tour to pretty much anyone!

5.00Excellent family excursion! Met up with a small group (two rafts, 13 people total) in Asheville and were provided with helmets, life vests , paddles, and safety instruction. We were transported to Barnardsville to begin our trip on the French Broad River Gorge. It was our 12 year old grandson's first time rafting and he loved it and can't wait to go again! Wonderful guide who was incredibly knowledgeable not only about the river, but geography, topography, and interesting historical information. Perfect day!
Amazing and a must

5.00I’ve always loved the water, even though I have a bit of a fear of it—so this experience was a big item on my bucket list. I’m so glad I went for it! It was an incredible time from start to finish. You don’t need a lot of physical strength, and I felt completely safe the entire time. The equipment was in great condition, and the instructors were not only friendly and professional, but clearly experienced and genuinely caring. Check-in was warm and welcoming, and our driver did an excellent job. My only suggestion would be to add a microphone in the van—those of us in the back had a hard time hearing some of the interesting facts and stories the guides were sharing about the area. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to do it again. Thank you for making it so great!
Fun!

5.00This is a great trip! John and Greta were fantastic and friendly river guides. The rapids were fun to get through but there were plenty of calm sections too. Our group made good time and had a pit stop at a river island which was interesting to explore. Definitely book if you’re down to get soaked or go overboard!
Awesome fun on a warm...
