Trip Report

The French Broad from Del Rio to Brigdeport is a pretty fun little ride.

Treat the falls with respect! Scout them well before you choose to run them. A local man drowned at the falls the day after we last ran it! We did this stretch on 22 July 2004 at a little under 2000 cfs. It was a great time but we used our heads, too! Just be ready to paddle some big calm stretches in between the fun rapids.
