A whitewater rafting adventure down the Ocoee River, located only a short hour from Chattanooga, provides thrills and excitement amidst the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. This activity is a great day trip for experts, novices, families, and other groups.
The Ocoee is a dam controlled river which means water levels are high all summer long and guides will navigate you through all different kinds of rapids ranging from level 3 to level 5. A spectacular whitewater rafting adventure awaits as you prepare to paddle your way down the Ocoee River.
Guests can choose to explore the Upper Ocoee or the Middle Ocoee. With the Upper Ocoee, you'll spend 1 & 1/2 hours on the river and with the Middle Ocoee 2 hours will be spent on the river.
