The Upper Ocoee River runs through the 1996 Olympic whitewater competition course, offers great scenery and of course big whitewater. The Middle Ocoee River is one of the most continuous class III/IV whitewater runs in the U.S. and offers the thrill of over 17 major rapids. You will be treated to a fantastic riverside lunch served overlooking the Olympic section. Enjoy your lunch in the shade of the trees or by the river watching the non-stop action at Humongous, the largest rapid on the river! Lunch includes 4 deli meats, cheeses & breads with all the trimmings to create your own sandwiches, along with peel-n-eat shrimp, an assortment of fresh fruit, chips, cookies, tea and lemonade. A snack and cold bottled water are available after your trip for the return ride. Plan 7 hours with us from check-in to departure with approx. 5 hours on the river. Join us on this ten-mile trip for the Southeast's finest whitewater adventure. No experience is necessary but you must be 12 years of age for all rafting trips. All trip times are EASTERN TIME.
