OUTFITTERS & RETAILERS

Below are lists of regional outfitters and retailers, arranged by county, who sell gear, lead trips, and offer shuttle services for paddling (and some for angling) on the French Broad. Note that there are other entities within the region who sell relevant gear and provide applicable services, however these are our favorites, and are the closest to the river. If you're seeking guided angling trips (musky, smallmouth bass, trout, etc.), we recommend you search for those services separately from this list of paddling-oriented outfits. If we're missing an outfitter or retailer who should be on this list, please let us know.
