French Broad
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. See the French Broad the Lazy Otter way!
As we leave the summer paddling season and head into fall, the Undiscovered French Broad gets cooler and quieter - great for paddling! We got a nice boost to water levels from the late summer storms, but there have also been some navigation challenges on the Horse Shoe Bend section of the river, so we have suspended our 4-mile trips at times in the interests of safety. Sierra Nevada and 7-mile paddle trips have not been affected. If a trip is not available to book online that generally means it's not available at all that day, but you are always welcome to call us for the latest updates. Our season runs into October, though a final date has not yet been set. Don't wait to get in another paddle this year!
