The French Broad is home to more than 40 access points and 20 riverside campsites managed by federal, state, and local governments; non-profits; businesses and volunteers.

In this episode I sit down with Jack Henderson from Mountain True and we talk in depth about the French Broad Paddle Trail. From the tranquil banks of Rosman to the distant shores of Douglas Lake, Tennessee, we unveil the geographical tale of the French Broad River.

But our adventure doesn't end with geography. We delve into the heart of conservation, where collaboration is the key. From the efforts of the French Broad Riverkeeper program to the tireless work of local partners, we'll uncover the passion driving the stewardship of this natural wonder.

And speaking of passion, get ready to hear about the upcoming enhancements to river access points and camping opportunities that await eager outdoor enthusiasts. With the combined efforts of local outfitters, federal agencies, and nonprofits, the French Broad River isn't just a destination—it's a community-driven experience like no other.
