The Ocoee River is both beautiful and exciting. You can experience the awe some rush of riding the raging river firsthand or just watch the excitement as others raft and kayak the wild river. The river situated the Cherokee National Forest is but one of many adventures you can experience. The Ocoee White Water Olympic Center the site of the... More

Kayaking is great fun on this river as well. Just writing this review makes me want to be there. Also, I think you have to be 12 or older... More

My wife and I accompanied a group of Boy Scouts on a whitewater rafting tour of the Ocoee River. We used the Nantahala Outdoor Center as our guides and they were excellent. With so many teenage boys they concentrated on safety and fun, and we all returned unharmed with smiles on our faces. We rafted the middle section of the... More

We did a guys trip on the Ocoee this past weekend and had a great time. Raft1 was the perfect company for us. They have cool (experienced) guides, all new equipment and provide lots of personal attention. The Ocoee is a fun river but can get a little crowded in the summer. We watched some of the other companies have... More

I went rafting last fall with Raft One on the Ocoee River and just booked my groups trip for this year. AGAIN it was wonderful working out plans with the staff. They are pleasant to speak to on the phone and make it so easy for my groups to coma and stay in the area. Rafting with Raft One is... More

We've raft before, but this last summer was the best. Raft One was great. The owner-guides really know what they were doing. Our guide, Bruce, told us that the owners had trained alot of the guides on the river and they are the real pros. Bruce sure gave us a fun ride. We did a lower trip and the next... More

There are lots of Ocoee outfitters and I've rafter with three different ones. The key is the raft guide and of that, you have little control. All the guides I’ve seen and talked with there are very respectful of the water and along with the outfitters, stress the key element of safety. A more experienced guide is preferable for a... More
