What are Some Unforgettable Things to Do in Asheville?

02 Definitely visit the French Broad River

The French Broad River runs through Asheville west of downtown providing a scenic, calm-water escape from the city. One of the more idyllic stretches cuts through Biltmore Estate with views of the grand house on the hillside and pristine, forested riverbanks. Closer to the heart of town, you can float up to River Arts District to relax at a local brewery and cruise the art galleries. Multiple outfitters in town can assist with river excursions.
