With rivers criss-crossing the region, there’s a rapid for everyone. Paddlers can stay close to the city for a trip down the French Broad River, admire the scenery of the Nolichucky River an hour north of Asheville, rush through the Nantahala Gorge on the Nantahala River's Class II-III rapids, or tackle Class III-IV rapids at the site of the Summer 1996 Canoe and Kayak Competition on the Ocoee River. Whatever your skill level, rafting and Paddle provide great exercise and exciting adventures for river thrill-seekers.

But the rivers around Asheville offer more than just bumpy rides. Calm-water trips reveal the rivers' gentler sides and give the whole family a chance to enjoy the water. Float trips also let you view the scenery and wildlife as you drift down the river.

Fast or slow, the rivers near Asheville are the perfect excursion to cool you off during your visit to the mountains.
