Crystal-Clear Waters, a World Apart from Downstream

Not all sections of the French Broad River are the same. While the river near Asheville can be crowded and murky, our adventures take place at the pristine headwaters in Rosman, where the river begins its journey through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Transylvania County.

Here at the source, you’ll discover:

1

Pristine, Crystal-Clear Water

Fed by pure mountain springs, our section of the river is so clear you can see straight to the bottom.
