Here’s why a North Carolina city is among the best riverfront towns in America. I’m a river loving girl. And was one of the best trout fisherman at Western Carolina University back in the day. At least in my mind. Back then I floated, canoed and fished the French Broad River near Asheville.
That amazing river is one of the reasons why Asheville is among the best riverfront towns in America to visit. We aren’t making this up. This is from a study by the experts at Explore.com. They scoured the country to find the best riverfront towns in America. Because not every riverfront town is down with great recreation. Asheville is and here’s why.
Let’s talk about that amazing French Broad River. Did you know that Asheville has more breweries than any other American city? Amazing! And we have the French Broad River to thank for that in part. According to explore.com Asheville’s French Broad River is one of the oldest rivers on the planet. Not only that but it is also one of the cleanest.
The river’s PH level is apparently perfect for delicious beer. The website says beer lovers might want to sample the brew at Wedge Brewing Company. You will find it at Asheville’s River Arts District and that is right there at the good ‘ol French Broad River.
Not only does Asheville’s French Broad River inspire great suds, it also reportedly inspired great art. More than 200 artists have studios in the River Arts District.
I’m not much of a beer drinker but I do enjoy the recreation on the French Broad River. Cast a line and catch you a fish. Or enjoy kayaking or paddleboarding or even rent a bike and ride in the area. Here’s why a North Carolina city is among the best riverfront towns in America. For more information check out details from our source, explore.com right here.
