North Carolina Whitewater, the Rivers

We raft the Tuckaseigee River and the Nantahala River. No other outfitter offers you the choice of these two great family whitewater rivers. Both are dam-controlled, which means you get predictable water levels throughout the rafting season.

The "Tuck" is great for families with younger kids, beginners and anyone apprehensive. It has fun, yet forgiving rapids and relatively warm water (near 70 degrees in the summer). You'll run several Class I & II whitewater rapids (Class III in periods of high water), making it ideal for younger kids and novices. You'll run the scenic lower gorge of the Tuck.  Bounce and churn through Papa Bear, travel down Moonshot and Slingshot rapids, plunge through Double Drop and Surfing rapids, and pick your way through Shark's Tooth. Get set for fun!

The Tuck is also a great river for Duckys (aka inflatable kayaks). We have one & two person Duckys available on all of our trips on the Tuck

 The Nantahala River - The Nantahala is one of the most popular rivers in the Southeast. We have added our family-friendly expertise to the Nantahala and designed a trip specially suited for families with pre-teen kids and a trip specially designed for the more adventurous. The clear and cool Nantahala River runs through the scenic Nantahala National Forest. You'll raft over 20 fun and adventurous whitewater rapids.
