Whitewater Rafting on the French Broad River

This is the premier full-day, high-adventure wilderness whitewater rafting experience for 4 people. This trip flows for more than nine breathtaking miles through the pristine wilderness of Pisgah National Forest.

The first few rapids rafters will encounter include the continuous, downward drops of Stairstep, the twisting and turning maneuvers throughout the upper and lower Maze, and the exhilarating switchback of S-Curve.

This trip includes an all-you-can-eat, deli-style lunch at an immaculate, riverside picnic lunch spot overlooking the infamous Turtle Rock and Big Pillow rapid. This hearty lunch will provide participants the energy to continue down and conquer the long, boulder-clogged chute, culminating into a four-foot drop and large hole that is Big Pillow.

When the trip ends, a River and Earth Adventures van will be waiting to escort guests back to their car. Bring clothing to wear on the river including shoes and swim trunks.

Duration: 4 - 5 hours
