PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR 30TH YEAR ON THE RIVER!
Nolichucky River Rafting
(7 years & up)
Nestled deep in the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, the Nolichucky River Gorge
winds through steep-walled canyons and remote thickly forested mountains.
One of the top 10 river runs in the nation,
the Nolichucky River is said to be one of the most technical big water runs in the south, demanding the coordinated efforts
of the raft "crew" and an experienced guide to negotiate the twists, turns, drops, and falls of the river.
The trip on the
Nolichucky is a true wilderness adventure, taking the rafter through the breath-taking rugged beauty of the back-woods of the
Pisgah and Cherokee National Forests. The sheer rock walls of the canyon towerr 2,800 feet from the base of the river to the
pine-covered peaks of the mountains; a true natural treat for anyone who visits the area.
Portions of the Nolichucky flow through
an area which is designated as a Black Bear sanctuary. The tracks of these large animals can often be seen along the banks of the
river, and a sharp eye on the woods during a rest stop will sometimes yield the rafter with a glimpse of a bear in its natural habitat.
The river drops approximately 66 feet per mile over the first four miles, creating adrenaline pumping Class III, IV, and V rapids.
The run can be enjoyed by all but the youngest children. Past trips have included the blind, Boy Scouts, Church Groups, and
Professional Groups.
As with all of Wahoo's Adventures, a trip on the Nolichucky begins with a training/safety session. Even the
first-time paddler will soon be learning how to properly navigate fast moving whitewater.
All of the tours on the Nolichucky
include a lunch catered by your guides. Serving a delicious Gourmet Deli Buffet lunch with fresh deli meats, peanut butter and jelly,
veggies and fruit, cheeses, and homemade banana bread and brownies.
Wahoo's Adventures has several options available for groups both
large and small to experience a run on the Nolichucky. When lower water levels in the summer allow, the Nolichucky River can be navigated
in funyaks as well as rafts.
For the Outdoor Adventure you have always desired, without any of the usual headaches of planning
an outing, Wahoo's Adventures makes that dream come true.
