Cascade is one of the smallest (of 21 outfitters for rafting the Ocoee), but definitely the BEST! The owner, Kip, was there to see greet all of us personally. All of Cascades guides are very experienced, not only with whitewater rafting, but rafting this specific river. Because Cascade is a smaller company, our trip never felt rushed.
We took the full day trip (upper and middle) sections and had a great time! Our guide Dakota was very knowledgeable about the river and the area. He did a great job of making sure everyone in the raft (6 of us) enjoyed themselves and stayed safe. We also got to go to some secret “sweet spots” on the river.
After conquering “Godzilla and Humongous” we pulled out to enjoy lunch and watch other rafts go through what we had just done (although not everyone was a sucessful as we had been!). Lunch was good, fresh sandwiches (make your own), cold shrimp, fresh fruit, cookies, lemonade, sweet tea, and water.
The rest of the afternoon consisted of more fun on the water. Lots more scary rapids mixed with sections of lazy river.
We came of the water happy and exhilarated! Thank you Kip, Dakota and everyone at Cascade Outdoors; we will see you next Labor Day weekend!
Excellent trip, the guides were awesome and took great care of my family and friends. Rode class 4+ rapids even with my 12 year old. Thank you Jules and everyone at Cascade for a wonderful fathers day.
Everything was Awesome, The people that worked there, the place, the experience and most of all the FUN. We were 4 adults in our mid fifty’s. We were a little intimated. But having Julie on our team, made us feel completely safe. She also made sure we enjoyed the experience to the fullest. Thank you Julie and Team.
Took GSLC Youth Group, and had a wonderful time. Dave and Caleb were awesome! All the guides were very knowledgable and great attitude. Will use them again!
I give our day a 10 rating. Eddie our guide was great, very interactive with our group,safe but very adventuresome as well. The lunch at mid-way was very good, did not expect such a spread.We will be bringing the whole family back next year.Again great job
We had an amazing time. We had a group of 15 and were treated great!! Wanna give a special shout out to our guide, Ryan. He was knowledgeable, funny and experienced. He absolutely made the trip wonderful. We are gonna come back and want him to be our guide as we tackle the upper Ocoee!
Cascade Outdoors gives customers personal attention and great service! They were very accommodating, our guide was exceptionally experienced, kept us safe and entertained, and their rates are reasonable. We rafted the Middle Ocoee on the 4th and had the time of our lives! If you’re looking for fun with family and friends, don’t randomly choose any place, go with the BEST, choose Cascade!
We absolutely love rafting with these guys!!! We have been twice and we’re lucky enough to get Beth Ann as a raft guide both times!! I highly recommend using Cascade! Smaller company means more fun!!!
The entire team is fantastic and very knowledgeable about the river. Our guide got us to some “sweet spots” and we felt safe the entire time. This is our second time using Cascade for our rafting trip and we will continue to use their services. Thank you Cascade for a fantastic adventure!
I will never use another company when going on the Ocoee! Cascade people are friendly, professional and want you to have a good time!!! They are not worried about how many people can we hurry up and get down the river. I want to give a big shoutout to our guide Dakota!! You are amazing! Thank you for giving me and my son Tristan a trip we will never forget!!!!
