Family Float Trips

This summer our popular Family Float Trips on the French Broad River will take place on Sunday mornings. These 2-3 hour paddling trips are a great way to enjoy the river whether you’re a beginner or an experienced river rat. We’ll paddle a scenic, mellow stretch of the French Broad in groups and be back to town in time for lunch. For more information on our Family Float Trips, contact Derek Turno: dturno@diamondbrand.com.
