This section is great for beginners or the experienced rafter with over 20 continuous class III & IV rapids. With plenty of places to surf and play, you’ll see why thousands of folks return year after year to raft this classic 5-mile run.

Top that all off with a great place to swim about half way down and you’ll certainly become “one” with the river. Our wonderful river guides will help make your adventure one to remember.

Itinerary

After a brief orientation, you'll board our bus for a ride into the Cherokee National Forest with views of Lake Ocoee and the river on your ride to the Ocoee River. Your Middle Ocoee adventure will begin at the Ocoee #1 Dam where your guide will go through a complete safety orientation with practice time before getting on the river. The Middle Ocoee River is 5 miles of class III/IV whitewater, featuring 17 major rapids and is 90% whitewater giving you miles of big waves, action and fun. As you descend the river gorge you'll be immersed in the beauty of the Cherokee National Forest. Your smiles and laughter will get bigger with each rapid as your confidence builds. This is the perfect bonding trip for family, friends and groups alike. No experience necessary! At the end of your river adventure, the bus will bring you back to the outpost where you'll get a chance to look at photos from your trip and change back into dry clothes.

It’s early in the season but as a local to Cleveland I know going down to the ocoee is a rain or shine event and it will be a memorable time even if you have clouds, a few rain sprinkles, or sunshine. It’s the perfect afternoon trip for friends and family. We enjoyed a fun girls day going down the river. Thanks to Ryan for being our guide and making sure we had an amazing experience! Ryan was fully equipped with his knowledge of the river and exceptional guide skills. Ryan kept us laughing, having fun, and safe during our trip! We had the best day!! 5 stars for Cherokee Rafting from these girls! Request Ryan!

First off, I’m a huge chicken. We arrived at the parking lot and it was 53 degrees outside and I realllly didn’t want to go in a river raft in that weather. But I did. And it wound up being my favorite 2 hours of our trip!! My husband and I had a solo raft with our guide Ryan. Worth mentioning that Ryan was absolutely incredible. He calmed my nerves and laid out every detail of the upcoming rapids. I smiled the whole time and couldn’t have been happier with him and with the whole experience. The leaves were changing and the water was warmer than the air. We were provided with splash jackets and those kept us very warm and protected. Underneath I had two running shirts and wore shorts and waterproof sandals. It was sufficient. The shuttle ride was about 20 mins there and 10 back or so. The whole adventure was epic and I’m already ready to do it again.

The trip was incredible! Aaron was our rafting guide. He was very professional and fun. We all felt very safe during our trip. So glad to have such a great experience for my first white water rafting journey! Definitely will return to Cherokee Rafting.

We had a group of 9 and had an amazing trip! The facilities were very nice to eat a picnic lunch before getting on the river. Our group rafts the Ocoee often and we have used many different companies. We will only use Cherokee now!
