Register now for the ‘Save the French Broad’ paddle trip!

From June 9-17, we’ll paddle the entire length of the French Broad River, camping at sites constructed along the way by WNCA and volunteers. This is an amazing opportunity to be one of the first people to experience this world-class paddle trail, while fishing, taking water samples, touring the Biltmore Estate winery, paddling some exciting rapids, soaking in hot springs, and enjoying the beauty of one of the oldest rivers in the world. Everyone is encouraged to come out and support the cause for a couple days or the entire week. Food, beer, boats, and a shuttle are provided each day. more
