TAKE ON YOUR FIRST RAPID!

Once you’ve taken a few minutes to practice what you’ve learnt, it’s time to start rafting! The Middle Ocoee is continuous Class III/IV whitewater and it offers lots of places to ‘surf’ and ‘play’. Grumpy’s Ledge will be the first rapid for you to take on!

HEADING TO DOUBLE TROUBLE

Next up we’ll hit Washing Machine and Moonshoot. Then it’s onto Double Suck which has the tallest ledge of the tour, a six foot slide with an awesome hole at the bottom. Be prepared to get wet here and don’t forget to smile for the camera! Next up it’s Double Trouble the best play spot on the river.

A DIP IN THE DOLDRUMS

As you pass through the Doldrums, the rapids become more gentle. If the weather is good, it makes it the perfect place to have a swim. It’s also a great chance to learn more about the history of the Ocoee River gorge and the unique TVA system of dams.

DOWN TO TABLESAW!

The excitement continues when we hit Tablesaw! By this point, your group will have mastered teamwork when taking on the rapids and you’ll be ready to smash through the waters. This is the course’s longest and most formidable rapid. Expect big waves and frenzied currents before floating down to the infamous Diamond Splitter. Be prepared for a drenching!
