Welcome to Lazy Otter Outfitters
Welcome to the French Broad River - nature's favorite stretch of one of the world's oldest rivers. Far from the rush and the roads, yet close to Hendersonville, Asheville and Brevard. Paddle the French Broad the Lazy Otter way!
September 21 - Because of a freshly fallen tree about a mile downstream from the public Horse Shoe access we are suspending our 4-mile Paddle on the Horse Shoe Bend trips until further notice. The blockage might be technically passable with difficulty depending on the water level, but we recommend avoiding the area for now. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates!
