Ocoee River
World class whitewater is what’s in store for your adventure. The Ocoee River is
the most popular whitewater river in the country, in fact over 300,000 people enjoyed
its amazing whitewater last year. The Ocoee is dam controlled and with a unique
arrangement with TVA we enjoy reliable water levels and exciting whitewater all
season long. Our Ocoee river adventures offer up-to 10 miles of almost continuous
class 3 and 4 whitewater*. These constant water releases and exciting rapids made
the Ocoee the perfect site for the 1996 Olympic competition and make the Ocoee the
perfect location for your next adventure. Adventures Unlimited’s friendly expert
guides make the Ocoee River perfect for beginners and experts alike. You don’t need
any prior river experience, just bring your sense of adventure and a change of clothes
and we will take care of the rest!
Adventures Unlimited uses only self-bailing rafts on the Ocoee River. The concept
is very simple. A self-bailing raft is simply a raft that drains itself from any
and all water which enters the boat over the course of your adventures on the river.
The feat is accomplished with the help of gravity. The height of the floor inside
the boat, when inflated, is higher than the river level outside the boat. When water
enters the boat gravity pulls the water through the lacing of the self-bailing floor
attachment and back into the river. This helps to provide better maneuverability
and more time to enjoy the river without the hassle of emptying the water out of
the raft. We have invested in the finest riverboats made, our fleet of 14 foot Maravia
Rangers simply have no equal in the industry. The boats are made by the great people
in Boise, Idaho, USA, and are custom built for Adventures Unlimited. These boats
are made to handle the river like a sports car on a mountain road, carving into
the best part of the rapids and then precisely lining up for the next one… it's
an awesome experience!!!
