Part V: Northbound, ho! On the French Broad River


Gather the family and hop afloat for FREE at French Broad Rafting Expeditions on one of the two northbound rivers in the United States: the French Broad River! While relaxing in one of our beautiful mountain retreats, Carolina Mornings gives you one free adult pass for a family adventure- rafting on the French Broad River!!
Here is some info from the French Broad Rafting Expedition website:
  • The French Broad River got its name because the river flowed north toward French owned land and because the river is so broad (wide).
  • The main stem of the French Broad River is in Rosman, North Carolina.
  • The French Broad River is one of two rivers that flows North in the United States.
  • The French Broad River flows 210 miles through Asheville, North Carolina, then north to Tennessee and into the Mississippi River and then into the Gulf of Mexico.
  • The French Broad River is a free flowing river that includes plenty of small mouth bass and catfish which makes for a great day of fishing.
  • The French Broad River is one of the oldest rivers with the Nile and New river predating the French Broad.
