Confluence with French Broad River

To skip the 3 mile section on the French Broad River, some paddlers take out at the railroad trestle on river left and carry 0.7 miles up the railroad tracks to the Stackhouse access on the French Broad River. Another option is to hike the river-left creekside trail back up to your car. This is a great option for those with packrafts and avoids the need for a shuttle.
