Whitewater Rafting is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast of any skill level. It is a sensible and fun introduction to whitewater paddling, as the first-time participant gets his feet wet (and probably everything else!) learning to negotiate whitewater with the help of guides on any trip. Two of the most incredible whitewater rivers are located right here in the greater Chattanooga area. The beautiful Ocoee River is the site of the 1996 Olympic Kayak Events.
