Float the French Broad River while partying with your ASR friends on a hot summer day! Immerse yourself in the ultimate relaxation as you float down the French Broad River, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Asheville. Embark on a journey that offers amazing views of Carrier Park and the vibrant River Arts District. Don’t just hear about Asheville’s charm—experience it from the best seat in the city: a comfortable tube on the water.

The French Broad River is one of the oldest rivers in the world, spanning 218 miles from Rosman, North Carolina, through Asheville, and toward the state of Tennessee. It runs through the Pisgah National Forest and the Cherokee National Forest. The French Broad River flows north from south Asheville through Buncombe County and goes past West Asheville, Midtown, the River Arts District, and is close to Beer City breweries like New Belgium and Sierra Nevada.
