What To Expect On The Canoe Bar Crawl Tour

Recipe for a perfect day: Floating down an ancient river, cooling your toes in the water, laughing with good friends… all within reach of award-winning breweries serving up fresh craft beverages and tasty treats.

We start by meeting near Asheville’s River Arts District, where your canoeing gear and friendly guide await. Canoe on a navigable but adventurous section of the French Broad River, where one of the oldest rivers on the planet passes by some of the best spots in “Beer City USA.”

We’ll paddle up to a variety of Asheville’s best breweries, eateries, funky riverside bars, and wading pools. Each trip will vary based on the weather, what is open, and what the folks in your group enjoy most. The trip makes three stops, Wrong Way Cabins that overlooks the river, Wedge Brewery, and New Belgium Brewery. There are food options at Wedge & New Belgium. Non-drinkers will have plenty of sight-seeing options nearby as well.

We require a four person minimum. We are dog friendly for our canoe trips so feel free to bring your furry friend. A dog PFD is recommended.
