Ocoee Whitewater Rafting
Ride the rapids with Raft One
(raft1.com) or Ocoee Rafting (ocoee
rafting.com) for an unforgettable day
on the world-famous Ocoee River.
Rafting on this dam-controlled river
happens five days per week in June,
July and August, and both outfitters
offer a variety of safe trips.
Chattooga Whitewater
Rafting
For an even more challenging
adventure, take a 90-minute drive
east of Blue Ridge to the Chattooga
River. Known as the crown jewel of
whitewater rafting in the Southeast,
the Chattooga is one of only a few
federally designated Wild and Scenic
Rivers, meaning it is undammed and
in its natural state. The river’s Class
IV and V rapids were famously featured
Southeastern
Expeditions
in the 1972 movie Deliverance,
and today it remains one of the top
destinations for thrill seekers.
Before heading over, contact the
experienced folks at Southeastern
Expeditions (southeasternexped
itions.com) to book your trip. Trips
begin at $80, and you can rest
assured their river guides are some
of the best in the business.
