Tubing Trips on the French Broad River

in Western NC

More Pictures

We offer an approximately 2 hour tubing trip down the French Broad River. This trip is Class 1 water, which is the mildest class rapid, so it is a great relaxing trip, not an adrenaline sport. The average water temperature in the summer is 65 degrees.

MAKE RESERVATIONS, we have limited space, and we book up fast!

The $20 tubing trip fee includes your tube, lifejacket (yes, you are required to wear your lifejacket at all times while on the river!), transportation to the put-in location, a riverside orientation by your river host, and transportation back to the Headwaters River Shop upon completion of your float. Gratuities are not included in this price.

You must arrive and be READY TO GO for your Tubing Adventure AT LEAST 30 minutes before your trip departure time.

Headwaters Outfitters is focused upon the enjoyment and safety of all our guests. Appropriate shoes are required- no bare feet, and no flip flops. Any shoe that will stay on your foot in a current will work just fine. We highly recommend you wear plenty of sunscreen. These items are available for purchase in our River Shop if you don't have them.

To save time on the day of your trip, print out our liability release form. Have each memeber in the party read and complete the form. All participants under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign theirs, anyone over 18 can fill out and sign their own. We do have these printed out at our shop for you to fill out if you don't have access to a printer.
