Highlights
The nation's most-popular whitewater rafting trip offers near-constant excitement from start to finish and is located just below the 1996 Olympic Whitewater Course.

5Great Family Adventure!
This is our second trip with Nantahala and our third trip rafting. They are organized, efficient, and very safety minded. Our guide, John K, was awesome! He knew it wasn't our first time and would ask us how we wanted to go down certain spots ie. forward, sideways, spinning, if we wanted to flip the raft (only at the end). We were able to customize our experience to make it as wild as we wanted it. My boys had a blast!
5This Trip We Will Tell Our Grandkids About
This was the second year our group of four booked with NOC for our annual fraternity reunion, and once again, they delivered an unforgettable experience. We chose the Middle Ocoee High Adventure trip, and Jordon was an amazing guide who knew exactly how to keep us safe while making the trip exciting, challenging, and incredibly fun. It was pouring rain as we prepared to launch, but just as we set off, the clouds parted and the sun appeared—as though the river knew it was time for an adventure. This is not your grandmother’s leisurely float down the river. This is the kind of trip you will still be talking about years from now—and telling your kids and grandkids about someday. If you want to get wet, laugh until your sides hurt, and experience the Ocoee with some of the best guides on the river, book with NOC. We are already planning our trip for next year, and this time, we plan to take on the full-day adventure!

About Chattanooga
Chattanooga is a Tennessee river city between mountain ridges, with an aquarium, a steep incline railway, Civil War battlefields and a walkable riverfront.
The Tennessee River makes a bend at Chattanooga, close to the Georgia border, in a valley between Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. It was a major railroad junction, and the 1941 song Chattanooga Choo Choo made its name famous. The Tennessee Aquarium stands on the riverfront, and the Walnut Street Bridge, a pedestrian bridge from 1891, crosses the river to a district of parks and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Chattanooga: Tennessee Aquarium, Coolidge Park, Walnut Street Bridge.
