    Super friendly staff, outdoor space, and affordable drinks. Sometimes if you're lucky, there's even…read morelive music. Oh, and water. But honestly it's the French broad so that's a little questionable. Have not tried their actual guided tours or equipment rental. I can't believe I've been to hominy creek so many times and had no idea this place existed. What an oasis. Especially for summer months. On the weekends, it gets pretty busy with happy dogs and kids. They have their own food truck and they had some live music on Saturday. The food truck people were super nice, and they had a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. The bar has a lot of options for beer. Non-beer drinkers too. Surprising number for a small little shack. Lots of picnic tables to sit at and enjoy the weather. Little beach area and all within walking distance. Parking can get a little rough so be mindful.

    Great people here that will take care of your outdoor needs and where rental equipment is available…read morefor outdoor activities. Asheville is a fave of mine for food, beer and outdoorsy fun. French Broad Outfitters has you covered whether its hiking, tubing, or kayaking. Super helpful staff too! My family rented kayaks for the day and set out for the French Broad River. Staff took us by bus to our site to begin our roughly two hour adventure. You finish where you start. That's easier said than done if the river is running fast. Again staff is there to help all the way. I would do this again and highly recommend.

    It was the first time our group of four had ever gone rafting. We all had a little nervous…read moreanticipation, however Bart was awesome! He gave us instructions before we began and settled our nerves. We did end up tipping the right side of our boat and three passengers went into the water but because Bart had told us what to do the other passengers were able to pull two guests in and Bart pulled me in. I was really worked up with adrenaline and I was on the verge or hyperventilating and he calling talked my breathing back to a steady pace. The rest of our trip was amazing and I was actually very happy we topped early into the trip to see it was ok and I could enjoy our trip. He was great explaining a lot about the area and the effects Helena had on the area due to flooding. If you can request a guide request BART! It was an amazing day!

    Yes, yes and YES!! we had a total of 8 in our group so we were split (you can only have 7 plus the…read moreguide). My group had Tia and she was amazing. We did the upper pigeon river and due to a lot of flooding in don't think we were able to go the normal route but again, not a big deal. We had a great time with our other riders and it was a really cool experience. We've done rafting that was a bit more extreme as this was supposed to be but again, due to the floods. We still had an amazing time and it was so thanks to Tia! Great personality and kept us very entertained.
