Canoe/kayak float - French Broad River.

Canoe/kayak float - French Broad River. This go-with-the-current float covers an easy 5 miles, starting from the Seven Islands State Birding Park recently renovated public access point on the French Broad River, to another recently renovated boat ramp at Cruze Landing. Though far from pristine, this river does have some interesting sights and a bit of wildlife (and some not-so-wild life). There may be some shoal water, but no whitewater. Basic canoe/kayak skills are required. We'll take our time exploring the shoreline for birds and other wildlife, and stop to eat lunch and stretch our legs on an island that is in the State Park. Sorry but we cannot provide boats, so you will have to contact a local outfitter and make your own arrangements for boats, paddles, binoculars if you have them, and personal flotation device (PFD). One-way drive, 20 miles. Pre-register with Ron Shrieves: 922-3518; ronshrieves@gmail.com (email preferred).
