Weaver Bend access

Weaver Bend is a dispersed camping and river access area on the French Broad River in the Cherokee National Forest, located 4 miles down a narrow gravel road with limited turnaround space—best suited for high-clearance vehicles, trucks, or small RVs rather than large trailers.

The site offers 2-5 designated campsites directly on the river with fire rings and good privacy, free camping with a 14-day limit, and access to fishing and paddling on the French Broad River, though facilities are minimal (no water, restrooms, or picnic tables).

Note that the access road (NFSR 209C/406) is undergoing road reconditioning and has a 5-ton weight limit at a bridge crossing.
