Ocoee Rafting: Tennessee's Oldest Rapids Rafting Company
Tennessee does require all rafters to be at least 12 years old and Ocoee Rafting requires that all riders wear some sort of appropriate footwear*. A list of suggested clothing is available on the website, as well as a list of dates that the upper river run is open, and full information on pricing. Trips can be booked online or by phone 800-251-4800, with a 25% deposit required at the time of purchase. Ocoee recommends that reservations be made 2 weeks in advance of your trip, to insure that there are spots available. You shouldn't arrive more than 15-20 minutes before your scheduled start time, as sometimes runs take longer than at other times and you may end up having to wait to start your trip.
Ocoee Rafting offers on site showers and changing rooms, as well as a small café that serves smoothies, sandwiches, coffees and various snack items. Picnic tables are located nearby for those who prefer to bring their own food and drinks.
Prices usually start at $30 for weekdays and Sundays, until Memorial Day. Costs then range from $40 - 48 through the end of September. During the month of October, week days and Sundays are $35 and Saturdays are $40. They offer group discounts and this year, they are offering Sunday trips during the month of April for only $28.
*From personal experience, author suggests shoes that fasten, lest one inadvertently fall off and be lost on the river
