Whitewater Rafting Located about a dozen miles west of Bryson City on US 19/74, the scenic Nantahala River ranks among the most popular whitewater rafting rivers in the country. Without a doubt, it is the most popular in the Southeast luring more than 200,000 paddlers to its waters every year. A perfect combination of frisky whitewater and placid pools, the Nantahala is a great introduction to the exciting sport of whitewater paddling. The Nantahala River, with Class II and III rapids, is considered a “family” river suitable for children as young as seven — providing they meet a 60-poung weight minimum — and senior citizens. But, don’t get the wrong idea. Just because the river is suitable for families doesn’t mean it’s not exciting. Just ask someone who has made the climactic Class III plunge through Nantahala Falls at the end of the eight-mile course. It's also challenging enough for the US Olympic Kayaking Team, which often trains on the Nantahala. There are a number of outfitters along or near the river where trips can be schedule. A variety of trips are offered and each company seems to add its own personal touch. All outfitters provide approved life jackets and require rafters to attend a safety presentation before they are allowed on the river. In the mood for something more sedate? Try the Tuckaseigee River. With its Class I and II rapids, Tuckaseigee rafting trips provide great outdoor entertainment for the entire family. You can run the “Tuck” from right in downtown Bryson City. Wildwater Rafting - widely recognized as one of the finest whitewater rafting outfitters in the country.
