NE c-boater looking to do some paddling in the Bryson City area June 5-10. Pretty flexible. Other than the Nanty, any ideas?
If anyone wants to hook up, let me know. Thanks.

Jack,
For ideas take a look at
http://www.boatingbeta.com/. It covers a lot of runs within a few hours of Asheville, some close to Bryson City, others a bit farther. What level of excitement are you looking for? And how far are you willing to travel?
The Pigeon and the Ocoee will be running some of the days you are in the area.
I'm a full-time dad, so I'm usually tied up on weekdays but I can sometimes get a pass for an evening run on Section 9 of the French Broad (N. of Asheville).

Hi Ben,
French Broad sounds good to me. I did it years ago. How long a run is it? I can meet you on a weekend or later on a weekday if that works best. It'll be about a 1.5 hour drive for me. Done the Ocoee but I'm more into quick runs because it's a family vacation. So if we can get together, that's great.
Thanks for the link to area boating. I can also be happy doing speed runs on the nanty.
