French Broad Outpost Dude Ranch

Our Dude ranch was opened in 1993, on Labor Day weekend and is located in The Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The first part of the ranch that was completed was the campground along the river. The French Broad river attracts many canoeists, rafters, and fisherman and the campground supplied a convenient place to stay and do all of these things. We closed the campground in 2001 when we became a Dude Ranch. The first structures built were the camping cabins and bathhouse. Our next phase was the building of individual cabins along the ridges that face the river valley. We no longer use the cabins in our operation.
