Wahoo’s Adventures Acquires River Dog Adventures in TN

Big News is Making Waves on the Watauga River

We’re thrilled to announce that River Dog Adventures is now officially operated by Wahoo’s Adventures, North Carolina and Tennessee’s longest-running river outfitter.

If you’ve tubed or rafted with River Dog before, you already know the charm of the Watauga: wide, family-friendly flows and a whole lot of river magic. Now, we’re adding 47 years of Wahoo’s expertise to Elizabethton, TN — blending what you loved about River Dog with the professionalism and fun Wahoo’s is known for.

 What’s New:

• Online booking & Waiver completion made easier through our secure Wahoo’s Adventures platform
• Tubing trips added to the Watauga River lineup (yes, we’re floating now too!)
• Upgraded guest experience from check-in to shuttle to splash
• Co-branded gear: River Dog tubes are staying, with Wahoo’s quality and safety baked in

 What’s Staying the Same:

• A similar stretch of the Watauga River
• The same friendly feel and community connection
• Affordable, family-friendly rafting and tubing trips
• Friendly guides and shuttle routines

We’re keeping the spirit of River Dog alive — just with a bit more wind in the sails.
