5 Awesome Reasons to Book a Spring Whitewater Rafting Trip

5 Awesome Reasons to Book a Spring Whitewater Rafting Trip

When’s the best time to go whitewater rafting in Georgia?

You might be thinking summer, but actually, there are a few things that make springtime whitewater rafting more amazing than any other time of the year.

While North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia whitewater rafting is always an awesome outdoor adventure, hitting the water in the spring is simply unbeatable. With spring well underway, here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider booking a spring whitewater rafting trip now.

  1. Smaller Crowds

During the summer months, getting a reservation can be tricky at times. During the spring season, however, fewer people are hitting the rivers, so it is much easier to schedule a rafting trip at the time that is most convenient for you.

  1. Perfect Weather

The southeastern US can get unbearably hot during the summer months, particularly in July and August. Not a fan of extreme heat? Planning a trip in the spring means that you will get to enjoy perfectly mild temperatures.

  1. Stunning Scenery

A whitewater rafting trip is a great way to enjoy nature’s beauty any time of year, but spring is even more impressive. At this time of year, everything is coming to life, and you are likely to see vibrant wildflowers blooming as well as woodland animals, which brings us to number 4.

  1. Wildlife Sightings

Just as the leaves and flowers emerge after the winter, wildlife emerges to enjoy the sun and fresh air. The spring is when you are most likely to spot wildlife while on a rafting trip, so this is the perfect time to plan a trip if you would like to see deer, turkeys or even black bears and other woodland creatures.

  1. Higher Water Levels

April showers bring May flowers, and they also bring higher river levels. High water levels create faster and even more exciting rafting adventures. The showers that tend to pop up at this time of year also feel pretty fantastic when you’re floating down the river, whereas showers on a hot summer day can make you feel hot and sticky.

What are you waiting for? Spring will be over before you know it. Book your spring whitewater rafting adventure today, and enjoy all that the river and this beautiful season have the offer!
