Headwaters Outfitters

For over three decades, our family has been organizing and leading customers on unforgettable journeys throughout the French Broad River watershed. Today, we’re western North Carolina’s number one source for family-friendly fishing, paddling, and tubing trips, proudly located in Rosman, NC! Our skilled guides provide year-round guided fishing trips catering to all experience levels. From April to October, we offer self-guided kayak and canoe excursions along the French Broad River, handling all the logistics so you can unwind on the water. When summer arrives, join us for an enjoyable river tubing adventure that promises family fun and a refreshing escape from the heat! Our retail shop serves as basecamp for your adventures, fully stocked with things you might want or need for your outdoor pursuits. Don’t forget to stop by the Forks of the River Taproom located nextdoor for a refreshing beverage of your choice, and grab a bite to eat at one of the rotating local food trucks.
