Asheville Outdoor Center

I visited there when I was 13yrs old, back in 1979! Via Camp Blue Star! And I still can't say enough good things about it and I probably will for the rest of my life! I enjoyed every last second of that trip and that Camp! And I plan to revisit North Carolina!, Camp Blue Star!, And last but definitely not least, Asheville Outdoor Center! P. S., I Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for those Beautiful and Wonderful!, Memories ud83dudc9eud83dudc9cud83dude0a and I will always recamend those three places with a five star ⭐✨⭐ rating!.

Friendly and helpful staff. This was our first time ever Kayaking, and this was a great place to start. The river was really calm with a brief exception under a bridge, but it was easy to navigate with the instructions they gave. Would definitely do again, and I now feel confident to try a harder river. I rode tandem with My 8yr old daughter, and even she said she’d like to try alone next time. Must wear a mask until you’re on the river.

First off, unbelievably enjoyable people; Ben and his family/team go above and beyond for their customers. Our kayak trip was cancelled due to weather and they weren't able to get in touch with us before arriving geared up and ready to go. Not wanting us to be disappointed, they let us use a couple SUPs and take a short float down river FOR FREE! It made our day so fun even if we couldn't do the whole trip. Thank you!

Local outdoor guide center that provides rental kayaks, tubes, and rafts for guided and unguided tours of the French broad river south of Asheville, NC. They are super friendly and accommodating, and the launch site is a really cool eclectic area with picnic tables, shelter, a small stage, hammocks, and lots of room to hang out. The staff are working hard to function within covid-19 safety guidelines. They are limiting van loads to 10 people and have the area set up for social distancing. We really enjoyed our experience!

We rented kayaks. I can't imagine a better way to spend an afternoon then floating down a beautiful river! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating and the drop in and pickup points made for an easy in and out of the river.
