Step up to the challenge and excitement of rafting the Upper and Middle Ocoee River through Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest! 

The Upper Ocoee's rapids are solid Class IV and they feature the biggest drops on the river, high ledge drops, powerful holes, and stunning scenery. Feel the rush as you run the Olympic Section--a quarter mile slalom course of the most challenging whitewater on the river, highlighted by the Class IV rapid "Humongous".

The day begins with your group meeting your guides at the outpost. Your guide will help you gear up, run through safety and answer questions before you are transported to the river put in. At the river, your guide will run you through paddling techniques, and you will load into your raft to start your thrilling ride down the river. At about the halfway point of your river trip, you will pull of to enjoy a riverside lunch.

Rafting the Middle and Upper Ocoee is one of the greatest full-day rafting experience in the United States!
