FAQs
Pick the 4-mile River Arts District float if you want a shorter paddle (about 1.5 to 2 hours). Choose the 6-mile Biltmore stretch for a longer paddle (about 2 to 3 hours); it feels more secluded, and you cannot get out on shore during this stretch.
Paddle boards are not recommended on the longer Biltmore stretch unless you have experience and stamina on them.
Bring shoes that can get wet.
