White
Water Rafting in the Great
Smoky Mountains
Does white water rafting sound fun?
I think so! I don’t know what can be better on a hot
summer day than to splash around atop the Nantahala
River in the Great
Smoky Mountains. Whether you are an
experienced rafter or a first-timer when it comes to the
white-capped waves, the Nantahala River has something
for everyone. So, put your swimmies on, make sure your
bathing suit is tied tightly, and bring a bottle of
sunscreen for your day on the Nantahala River! Remember
to reserve a Gatlinburg cabin or a
Pigeon Forge cabin from the best cabin rental in the
Smoky Mountains after you reserve a raft for your white
water adventure!
Nantahala is Cherokee for “land of
the noonday sun.” A very well known river of recreation
and sport, the Nantahala sees more than 160,000 people
each year. The river is ranked as a Class II-III river,
which is ideal for beginners and experienced paddlers.
Start off with the beginner run through the gorge of the
Nantahala Forest and work your way up to the zig-zagging
of the class III “Nantahala Falls.” If you are extremely
daring, try kayaking down the same river!
The minimum weight to raft is 60
lbs. One to two-person inflatable kayaks are available
for rent, as well as eight-person rafts. The length of
your rafting experience is eight miles, which is about
160 minutes atop the bustling water. With an inexpensive
price of only $29.95 to rent a raft there is no reason
not to go white water rafting! Add another $5 dollars a
person and you can have a guaranteed guide to help you
get through the tough spots on the river. Everyone at
least one in their lives needs to experience the
exhilaration of white water rafting! It will be a 160
minute roller coaster with ups and downs and even times
when you merely drift down the river.
After your day of white water
rafting come to your Cabins For You cabin to rest up for
another day in Gatlinburg and
Pigeon Forge. Jump in the
hot tub to get out those kinks out from the rafting
trip. Call Cabins For You today after you reserve your
