Great first time experience!!! This was our first time white water rafting and we could not have asked for a better experience with Cascade, and our guide, Joe! He did an excellent job of explaining everything and we just had the best time. We hope to come back again and will definitely be booking with Cascade! Great, family owned business.

First timers and we had a blast!!! Joe was our guide and we would absolutely recommend him to others. He was extremely knowledgeable on technique and safety but also on the river and history of the area. Plus if you can handle it, some pretty incredibly bad jokes. My kids had a great time firing them right back.

We had so much fun, weather was perfect, we all felt confident and safe. Would 100% recommend and look forward to a return trip in the future.

We took our adult children on this adventure during our Ashville vacation. Hands down, the best white water rafting experience in the area. Our guide at Cascade provided both a safe and exhilarating experience. We will do this again for sure. Thank you, Cascade!

An exhilarating and transformational day on the Ocoee! Adding our voices to those who have had incredible experiences out on the Ocoee with Cascade Outdoors. With Joe as our guide, my husband, two teenage boys, and I approached the fierce rapids with excitement and some trepidation. Joe invited us to "bring our nerves to the river," and calmly and patiently told us all we needed to know to maximize our chances of staying upright and in the raft. In the water, we knew we were in expert hands as Joe guided us clearly, playfully, and with attention to each of us as individuals and as a family (in addition to jokes, so many life lessons were sprinkled in). The journey was exhilarating, the river just beautiful, and we also got to know the area in such an intimate way. Thank you, Kip and Joe, for a day we won't forget. Your love for what you do is touching and inspiring. We hope to be back and will definitely send others your way!

Fun trip for all skill levels! Good group of guides. All of their guides have about 10 years of experience or more. The middle Ocoee is a good place to start with white water rafting but don't want something too mild or slow. There are still five or six class four rapids and plenty of milder rapids.

If Joe is your guide, come prepared with lots of silly puns and jokes or he will make them himself! We had a great time both times we have gone down the middle Ocoee with Joe.

Listen! I was scared to do this. Very nervous but our guide gave me confidence that I would be safe and have fun! So that’s just what we did! Rafted down that river! Laughed. Paddled. Got wet and it was a wildly fun time! Can’t wait to do it again.

Cascade may be one of the smaller guide services but it’s totally worth it! They have the best guides hands down and that’s so important…especially for first timers! so don’t be afraid of how small it is, the quality is higher than any “big wig” on the River anyways. The other companies have so many rafts and you constantly have to wait for them, but we only had 3 rafts on the morning run and it was amazing. We’re already planning our next trip!

Also shout out to Holly for being an awesome guide. The guide makes or breaks rafting for you so I’m very thankful we were paired with her. We will be making Cascade part of our summer every year and hopefully we can always ask for Holly!

Our day on the river was perfect! The guides from Cascade Outdoors are so friendly and experienced they really made the trip fun. Especially our guide Brittany she was so chill. Everything went smoothly from booking online, signup, equipment, bus ride, put in, rafting, put out, ride back. The rafts and gear look nice and pretty new. Cascade is a smaller outfit which makes the entire process less crowded and more efficient. GREAT DAY!!!

This was one of the best whitewater trips we have been on. We even had two 16 year old boys and our guide kept them having a blast. Very small outfit, but in this case smaller is better. We were doing way more adventurous things on the water than any other company. Will definitely be back!

This place is the best. Highly recommend! Ky was our guide and made sure we got the most out of every rapid and the entire experience while staying safe.

We had the best experience with Cascade Outdoors Whitewater Rafting! From the moment we walked into the building the vibe was hopping. I know our raft had the best guide going down the river. He worked really hard to give us exactly what we wanted. Will definitely be going back with them next trip!
