Stand up paddling is one of Asheville's hottest new activities. Here on the mellow, Class I waters of the historic French Broad River, guests receive an historical tour while casually paddling through the scenic heart of Asheville's burgeoning downtown.Your tour starts when you meet your guide in Asheville's River Arts District. You'll enjoy a 10-minute, complimentary shuttle to the start point at Hominy Creek. Here you'll be fitted with life jackets, paddles and introduced to the board. Your guide will give a short, introductory lesson on the basics of stand up paddling.
The paddeling begins in Hominy Creek, a shallow, sand bottomed "practice pond" where you'll gain your confidence and balance. From here the waters eventually join with the larger French Broad River—a wide, historic stretch of water that's the third oldest river in the world. Along your guided paddleboard tour, drift along the outer boundary of the famous Biltmore Estate and finish back in the popular River Arts District within walking distance of breweries and shops. During your 2-hour guided paddle, not only does the guide ensure your safety and help you learn a new sport, but also weaves historical tales of Asheville's scenic surrounds.
