- The river arts district float you pass through some historic parts of Asheville and end near New Belgium Brewery and some cool restaurants.
- The Biltmore section seems more secluded because they own the land around the river, which means you cannot get out of your boat on shore during this stretch, but will see the Biltmore Estate up on the hillside.
- Both floats keep and eye out for herons, turtles and other wildlife.
Asheville River Paddle Rentals Offer Scenic Routes Past Biltmore Estate and Arts District
A new guided river rental experience in Asheville is giving visitors the chance to explore scenic waterways at their own pace. Designed for all skill levels, the activity offers two distinct paddling routes that showcase both natural landscapes and the city’s cultural districts.
The longer river stretch passes near the historic Biltmore Estate, providing a more demanding journey through calm but extended waters. This route appeals to experienced paddlers seeking a blend of exercise and scenic immersion in a quieter, more natural setting.
A shorter option leads through the River Arts District, where participants paddle past colorful murals, galleries, and urban riverside scenery. This section offers a relaxed experience with gentle currents, making it ideal for beginners and families looking to enjoy a slower-paced outing.
All rentals include safety equipment and basic instruction from trained staff, ensuring participants are prepared before heading onto the water. With flexible timing, route options, and guidance available, the experience combines recreation, sightseeing, and accessibility along Asheville’s scenic river corridor.
