Rowing Kayaking Kayaks and related equipment now are available with various modifications, depending on individual need.

Organizations listed at the end of this section, such as Wilderness Inquiry, will have everything you need for kayaking, including trained guides and special equipment which you can try before deciding whether to buy your own. It is best to consult with a recreational therapist or physical therapist who can assess your ability to maneuver a kayak and determine how you can compensate for any disability. Certified Red Cross instructors also provide training. Consult with manufacturers of adaptive equipment or their sales staffs to determine what specific equipment you need.

Extractions: The Asheville Area Boating Beta Page by Chris Bell (this is a work in progress; feedback welcomed!) Almost all the information on this page has been expanded and moved to my new page: boatingbeta.com . After all the information has been moved, this page will disappear. Visit the new page and let me know what you think! I've put together an entire page of Asheville area weather and climatic information. To get there, click here: weather images and links This page provides information on some of the more popular runs near Asheville. A work in progress, when it is done it will include brief descriptions of the runs and park-and-play spots, links to more complete descriptions, links to current weather reports, links and information on levels (especially online sources) and directions from Asheville to the put ins and take outs (including the distance in minutes from downtown Asheville driving at the speed limit under normal traffic conditions). If you have any of the information I've described above but have not added to the page, information on other runs you would like to see here, or note any needed corrections, feel free to e-mail them to me: Chris Bell Note: The numbers in parentheses in each run's description are the run's class and the distance from downtown Asheville driving at the speed limit under normal traffic conditions. Within the two groups (dam release and rain dependent), the runs are listed in order of distance from Asheville (more or less runs on the same river are grouped together). Rating rivers is a subjective enterprise second to none in generating good natured disagreement around the campfire and pool table. I've done my best to try to be consistent in the ratings on this page. The ratings are for moderate water levels. A rating of III implies that the major rapids are all of similar difficulty and are class III's; a III-IV rating implies that some of the major rapids are more difficult than others, with some arguably class IV; a class III (IV) implies that most of the major rapids are class III's, but one is clearly harder than the others and is definitely a class IV.

Extractions: CAUTION: ALLIGATORS: Alligators are sometimes seen swimming or sunning themselves along the river banks. You should not feed them, taunt them or attempt to get near them. Generally speaking alligators will leave you alone if you leave them alone . Alligators have a natural fear of humans. However, you should use caution when in the area. Keep your arms and legs inside your boat and stay our of the water. Alligators are unpredictable wild animals that can attack with incredible speed. The reason you shouldn't feed alligators is that you don't want them to associate people with food. Alligators lose their natural fear of humans when we feed them. Alligators that have been fed by humans may approach you in the hopes you will feed them. This is scary and something you don't want to happen in the tight confines and remote location of the Loxahatchee River!
