A Gentle Start to the Adventure

As a marine biologist, my life is often spent exploring the vastness of the ocean, but every now and then, I find myself drawn to the gentle embrace of a river. The French Broad River in Pisgah Forest was calling my name, and I couldn’t resist the allure of a relaxing float with Brevard River Tubing.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Alec and his team, who exuded warmth and enthusiasm. Their passion for the river was infectious, and I felt an immediate sense of calm as I prepared for the journey ahead. The tubes, a delightful shade of pink, were equipped with closed middles and headrests, ensuring a comfortable ride. I was ready to embark on this serene adventure.

The shuttle ride to the put-in location was filled with anticipation. Alec shared insights about the river, pointing out the swimming area landing and offering tips for a successful float. As we reached the starting point, I felt a sense of excitement mixed with tranquility, eager to experience the river’s gentle flow.

Embracing the River’s Beauty

The moment I settled into my tube, I was enveloped by the river’s embrace. The gentle current carried me along, and I found myself lost in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The lush greenery of Pisgah Forest framed the river, creating a picturesque scene that felt like a painting come to life.

As I floated along, I was joined by dragonflies and butterflies, their delicate wings fluttering in the breeze. A bald eagle soared overhead, a majestic sight that left me in awe. The river was alive with wildlife, each creature adding to the tapestry of this enchanting experience.

The highlight of the float was undoubtedly the swimming area landing. On my second float, I made sure to stop and indulge in the simple joy of skipping stones across the riverbed. The cold water was invigorating, a refreshing contrast to the warm sun above. It was a moment of pure bliss, a reminder of the simple pleasures that nature offers.

A Day to Remember

As the float came to an end, I found myself reflecting on the day’s adventure. The French Broad River had offered a perfect blend of relaxation and exhilaration, a testament to the beauty of nature and the joy of exploration.

Alec and his team had created an experience that was both calming and thrilling, a journey that left me with a sense of peace and fulfillment. The unlimited floats allowed me to fully immerse myself in the river’s charm, and I left with a heart full of gratitude and a mind filled with memories.

For those seeking a gentle escape into nature, Brevard River Tubing offers a delightful journey down the French Broad River. It’s an experience that promises relaxation, adventure, and a connection to the natural world that is both calming and exhilarating. I can’t wait to return and float once more, letting the river guide me on another unforgettable adventure.
