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!
COVID-19 Update: There is encouraging news about reopening, but for the safety and health of our staff and guests we won't be rushing anything. Right now we're hoping to be open for the weekend of May 16, but we are not yet taking reservations. Stay tuned for more details!
