AN OVERVIEW
Folks who love the water and adventure are in for a treat when they visit Ocoee Rafting. Located twelve miles from Blue Ridge, GA, Ocoee Rafting is the oldest, most experienced outfitter in the business. Rafting is a great option for a family vacation or a weekend away with friends, and well-trained guides will provide all the equipment and instruction necessary for a memorable day on the rapids.
DETAILS
Guests will enjoy Class III and IV rapids on the dam-controlled Ocoee River. Water is released for water activity 100 days per year (on weekends in the spring and fall, and every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays June - August) so the water levels remain constant. Rapids run through the picturesque Ocoee Gorge in the Cherokee National Forest. There is no experience necessary but participants will need to sign a waiver at some point before their rafting trip.
Ocoee Rafting has a very well-appointed outpost where guests can get ready for their trip including large restroom and shower facilities and a fully stocked gift shop. For visitors who prefer to keep their camera dry, the company will provide professional pictures of some of the rapid runs for purchase.
