Rafting in Georgia
Georgia rafting on the Ocoee River is only an hour and a half drive from the north side of Atlanta making it an ideal white water rafting day trip excursion. The Ocoee River put whitewater rafting in Georgia on the map when it was chosen as the venue for the 1996 Olympic Games. This thrill-a-minute river runs through Tennessee and North Georgia.
Many people have the idea that a rafting trip involves a long, tiring bus ride of several hours to a remote wilderness location. This is not the case with Ocoee white water rafting in Georgia. It is easily accessible with a wide array of nearby places to stay and dine while visiting us. It’s absolutely perfect for anybody searching near Atlanta for a world-class rafting trip.
