Kaya has experienced handling animals, so we felt comfortable having her care for and exercise our fur baby for a few hours. Our dog got to go for a hike and a swim to burn off some energy while we spent sometime in the downtown Asheville. Kaya provided door to door service and was very willing to accommodate our needs. She even took some great photos of our pup on her adventure to share with us. We have already decided that we will use her services again when we are heading back to Asheville. We are so happy we found Blue Ridge Barks!

His knowledge of bass fishing, kayak fishing, and the local environment, coupled with his natural teaching ability was the perfect balance of learning and fun. We caught loads of spotted bass and some largemouth while getting some exercise and experiencing the serenity of the natural environment. The equipment provided was top notch and in perfect working order, which is not always the case with other kayak fishing guides. I will definitely use them again the next time I am in Asheville. Don't hesitate call them now, they book up fast!

A BUSINESS is NOT a LOCATION ! You can not fish inside a building. You will not have room to cast your line ! A PLACE to FISH is like a certain spot on the river, or a small lake or a creek. It is much better to fish in those types of locations than inside a fly and tackle shop or a barbecue restaurant. Yes those are great places to go, to find fishing equipment, to hire a fishing guild or to eat some awesome barbecue. But, alas it is very poor fishing in those stores.

Families go swimming in warmer months. Beat to go when the sun is out, part of the mountain blocks the afternoon sun and water is colder in the shade. Park is pretty clean, not too many people on weekdays. Lots of rocks after the beach atea and further down people go rafting or canoe oaddle. Nolichucky is beautiful when the water is moving and this is an ideal spot to enjoy the river. About 20 mins from Johnson City/Jonesborough off i26, very easy to get to.
