French Broad River Park
Picnic · Editor rating, not a user review
The in-town park that feels like the river, not a downtown lawn.
French Broad River Park sits on the river in south Asheville, with a playground, a path, and tables close to the water.
It is small compared with the mountains around it, which is why it works. You can stop on the way out of town. After heavy rain the riverbank is the part to skip. This is a day park, not a campground.
