About Us
Exclusive adventure trips
Creating real connections & authentic experiences
Our mission is to create experiences that are active, engaging, and approachable for everyone. Every trip we run is designed to showcase the beauty of Asheville from its most defining feature — the French Broad River — leaving our guests with a sense of connection, accomplishment, and renewal when the day is done.
As the only rafting company based in the heart of Asheville, we make adventure easy to access and impossible to forget. Our locally crafted trips are built around genuine hospitality, personal attention, and deep local knowledge — the kind that doesn’t come from guidebooks or quick searches.
We build river experiences crafted by locals, loved by locals, and made accessible for you.
Meet our local leaders
Jared: Founder
Enthusiastic mover & shaker
Jared grew up on a farm in Kansas and has been in Western North Carolina for the past five years. He developed his love for the outdoors at a young age when backpacking and camping became his favorite pastimes. After college, Jared ventured down the corporate path for a few years but eventually, mother nature came a-calling. If not found mountain biking or paddling the whitewater rivers of the Southeast, he may be found camping somewhere else!
Devin: Founder
Passionately creative guy
A 20-year resident of Western North Carolina, Devin grew up exploring the beautiful Appalachian mountains around his Asheville home. There are few peaks in the area that he hasn’t climbed and even fewer trails that he hasn’t conquered. Devin cut his teeth as a guide putting in summers as a raft guide all through college on the nearby Pigeon River. When he’s not running the company, Devin can be spotted running the roads and trails around Asheville nearly every evening preparing for his next marathon.

Leslie
Howdy! My name is Leslie. I’ve been in Asheville for 8 years, WNC for 16 years (Go App State!). I like to drink beer and talking about it too. My happy place is on the water, in a kayak, canoe, or SUP. I’m a bird nerd and I love to Phish.
