Whitewater Rafting
Bounce down the river while water crashes and flows into your raft, you barely hang on with your feet wedged underneath the boat. Paddle as hard as you can to keep from falling out of the boat, and laugh at everyone scrambling while you ride class III and IV rapids down the Ocoee River. Youll have plenty of good stories to bring back and share with this whitewater experience.
Experience the rush of riding down tumultuous torrents of terrible whitewater in your raft or kayak. Learn the basics of whitewater kayaking on North Carolina's Nantahala River with the Nantahala Outdoor Center. Otherwise, try rafting the Nantahala, Ocoee, or Chatooga with Southeastern Expeditions. Whitewater trips are safe but exciting and require no prior experience.
In addition to the items on the participant checklist, rafters should bring:- Shoes/sandals that will stay on your feetno flip flops
- A bathing suit
