What happens on the day
This 5-mile section of the Ocoee packs more fun and excitement than imaginable into this half-day trip. The Middle Ocoee is a great introduction to whitewater rafting and is great fun for kids from 12 to 80.
Site of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games Whitewater Slalom Events, the Ocoee River offers fast-moving currents, big waves, and rollicking Class III-IV action rushing through the heart of the Cherokee National Forest in eastern Tennessee. Feel the rush as you run exciting rapids like Tablesaw, Double Trouble, or the legendary Grumpy's.
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.
Now you too can "Go for the Gold" on this truly Olympic river!

Customer Reviews
Amazing experience! Will definitely be coming back.
The rafting trip was spectacular. We all had a blast! The address for the outpost was an old address which made it tricky to find where we needed to be but the folks at NOC guided us to where we needed to be and showed us a great morning!

Best Day Ever! The staff were awesome, especially the river guides. They made it fun but still exciting. I upgraded to the combo and would definitely recommend doing so. I am already planning my next trip down the Ocoee.
