About French Broad River Park

French Broad River Park
 

French Broad River Park, a beautiful urban park in Asheville, North Carolina, runs along the historic French Broad River. The park provides a tranquil setting for outdoor recreation, with pathways meandering by the river, open spaces for picnicking, and lush greenery that offers a refreshing retreat from the city. The area is a haven for walkers, bikers, and dog lovers, featuring a popular dog park where pets can roam off-leash. The park also hosts various community events and is a favored spot for riverside yoga, family gatherings, and leisurely outings. While the park itself is relatively compact, it serves as a key link to a longer network of riverfront greenways that allow extended biking and walking from beyond the Asheville city limits. With its scenic beauty and community-friendly amenities, French Broad River Park is cherished by locals and visitors alike.
