Great Experience on the Ocoee!

Rachael_N, Aug 2026
We had amazing day rafting the Ocoee with Cherokee Rafting. We've probably done this trip around 10 times, but this was our first time with Cherokee and we were impressed. They have a great facility with lots of outdoors activities to keep you entertained while you wait. The bathhouse facilities were very clean and all the guides were very knowledgeable and friendly! Our guide Everett has only been guiding for a couple of seasons, but took us through "the juicer" which is something none of our other guides ever mentioned and is a ton of fun if your not too scared to get thrown out of the boat! My brother-in-law and his family also loved their experience with Ethan as their guide. Can't wait to come back next summer to try out their high adventure trip!

Great experience with fun...

Great experience with fun guides. Lunch was great and June is a great month to go. Thanks to Justin for being a great river guide. We took one spill but it was caused by another company’s guide getting in front of us. Everyone was ok and I enjoyed the swim!

The Best Time!

Being a novice but athletic middle age group of ladies, safety was important to us. We thrive on excitement, adrenaline, fun and are adventurous and but didn’t know what to expect. Ethan and Cherokee were AMAZING not just with their jobs but are also very personable. We would tackle any river with them.

Best Time Ever

Your recommendation for lodging was terrible, but was made up by Ethan at Cherokee outdoors. Had time on the river.!!

Awesome

Richard_B, Jun 2025
It was fantastic as they decided to take their time due to only 1 trip for the day. We spent extra time in the Olympic section of the river. Max was the best guide I have ever dealt with white water rafting

So much fun!!!!!!
