Upper Ocoee rafting with OAC

What is it like to Raft the Upper Ocoee River and the 1996 Olympic Whitewater Slalom Course?

Watch this video to see class IV Upper Ocoee rafting action at rapids named Mikey’s, Blue Hole, Callihan’s, Godzilla, Humongous, and Roach Motel. See what is it like to raft the Upper Ocoee River.

Mikey’s is the first class IV of the run with a big ledge near the top. Blue Hole begins with “Let’s Make a Deal” and we choose Door #2 in this video. The rest of Blue Hole is like riding a roller coaster. The 1996 Olympic Whitewater Slalom Course begins with three ledges named Best Ledge, Smiley Face, and Slam Dunk. Rafting the Upper Ocoee River and the 1996 Olympic slalom course is an unforgettable experience.

The pace picks up as we ride the Conveyor Belt to Callihan’s Ledge. Spectators tend to gather around the next two features Godzilla and Humongous the two biggest holes in the Olympic Course. We tend to pause our rafting trips to watch the show for little while before continuing downstream. The next and final class IV rapid is named Roach Motel and consists of three large offset holes.

Ocoee Adventure Center gives you the best rafting experience on the Ocoee, plus playtime. We take time to stop and play on the water while other rafts are racing to the end. See surf action at great play spots such as Dee Dee’s Secret and Honey Buns. Our raft guides love to play! See what it feels like to fall off the Edge-of-the-World. Then enjoy free swimming and floating to the lake and lunch spot. Book full river trip with us for the best of the Upper and Middle sections of the Ocoee River. Book early as these trips are subject to selling out.

Please consider subscribing to our youtube channel and share our video with your friends.
