Since 1972, Nantahala Outdoor Center has shared the outdoors with millions of guests on white water river rafting trips, with all varieties of kayak and canoe instruction, on mountain bikes and around the world with adventure travel trips. Chattooga River whitewater rafting offers the mild and scenic Section III and the wild and scenic Section IV, two distinct and memorable river trips. The Chattooga River always delivers breathtaking scenery and treasured whitewater in an unmatched wilderness setting. NOC has been leading trips on this federally-designated Wild and Scenic River since the company's beginning in 1972. NOC guides are some of the most experienced on this river, some with as many as 30 years experience. The guides receive extensive training, and NOC is the only company on the Chattooga with an entire fleet of self-bailing rafts. This means they can optimize each raft trip for maximum enjoyment, no matter the water level.

Rafting Section III Your family will love exploring whitewater on the Chattooga's Section III, surrounded by wilderness and removed from crowds. This section offers Class II-III rapids, with a big finale at Bull Sluice Rapid. Great for families with older children and for youth groups, the Chattooga is a river that begs to be explored.

Rafting Section IV Made famous by the film "Deliverance," Section IV is the classic Southeastern whitewater rafting run. Float past awe-inspiring scenery, take the time to explore river features, and paddle through some of the most heart-pounding drop-pool rapids to be found anywhere. The trip's highlight is arguably the run through the famous Five Falls, where five tumultuous Class IV+ rapids unfold in quick succession.
