What happens on the day
Discover the wonders of Lake James during this immersive kayaking adventure!
Just beyond the bustling city of Asheville lies a lush natural landscape that includes rivers, lakes, and the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. You’ll venture into this wilderness, led by an expert, naturalist guide, for an unforgettable encounter with nature. This kayaking tour is the ideal way to learn about Asheville’s flora, fauna, and the wildlife that call it home.
You will meet at the Asheville Visitor Center where you'll meet your guide, receive a basic instruction overview, and then board your complimentary transportation to the launch site. Lake Junaluska has been home to the Methodist Church since the 1900s, used as a retreat for those seeking to renew their soul, body, and mind. Discover just how peaceful this lake can be as you paddle over its waters. Take in the serene landscape around you, the lush woods, rolling mountains, and the wide-open sky. It’s no surprise that this lake has such spiritual significance!
This experience gives you the chance to ride on a tandem, sit-on-top kayak, which are much friendlier to beginners. However, your WNC certified naturalist guide will ensure a safe and fun experience for everyone, and can handle any questions or concerns that may come up. Life vests and any other necessary equipment is provided for you, so all you have to bring is your adventurous spirit! Your guide will share stories about the land and its many marvels, so you walk away from your adventure with a deeper appreciation of Asheville’s natural landscape.
Paddle into mindfulness with this kayaking adventure!
