Nantahala Outdoor Center

NOC offers two trips on the Ocoee. Our most popular is an action-packed half-day Ocoee rafting trip. It features five miles of continuous Class III-IV rapids such as Broken Nose, Tablesaw, and Hell Hole. Our most exciting trip, however, is our full-day Ocoee rafting trip. It combines the traditional Middle Ocoee trip with the Class IV Ocoee Olympic Whitewater Center, site of the 1996 Olympics. In fact, four NOC staff members competed in the 1996 Olympics on the Ocoee! Ocoee rafting is synonymous with big waves, warm water, and continuous action - that's why we call it the "Ocoee Coaster!" From beginning to end, the Ocoee will get you soaked, smiling, and laughing.

Ace Kayaking School

Our passion at Ace is private instruction and coaching for whitewater kayakers who want to improve their performance and step up their game. We work with all levels of paddlers, from beginner to advanced, and specialize in many concentrations of the sport. Our main focus is on river running, creeking, and freestyle. Ace offers mostly private coaching but also caters to larger groups such as college students, camps, and Boy Scout troops, for whom we offer multiple merit badge programs. Additionally, we provide guided river trips using inflatable kayaks (funyaks) on the Ocoee in Tennessee. These are geared for clients who want to experience the sport but may lack the skills to kayak class IV rapids. Our funyaking program is one of the most extreme commercial whitewater trips available on the East Coast.
