The thrilling Upper Ocoee River Adventure is a trip everyone must try! Now you can enjoy whitewater rafting the Upper Ocoee all summer long. The Upper Ocoee Rafting Adventure is 3 ½ hours long. Following calm serene beauty our river guides will take you through some of the most spectacular whitewater rapids in the country. This trip is suitable for all experience levels. However, precise maneuvering is required and may be slightly more physically demanding than the Classic Middle Ocoee Adventure.

Many people ask, "I've run the Ocoee several years ago and had a great time but what is the Upper Ocoee River really like?" This is the section that is above the Classic Middle Section and where the Olympic Canoe and Kayak Slalom events were held in July of 1996. The beginning of the Upper Ocoee is characterized as a wilderness section with spectacular scenery and gentile whitewater. Then after the first short mile the river begins its drop towards the awesome class IV rapids of the Ocoee Olympic Course. After several challenging class III and IV rapids we enter the world famous Ocoee Olympic Course. With almost a mile of whitewater the Ocoee Olympic Course is like one giant class IV rapid, with all the key ingredients; vertical drops, huge waves, challenging maneuvering and repeat! Simply put "AWESOME"! But it's not over yet. we still have several more great rapids and a last second "hidden" drop just to keep you guessing.
