Spring Water on Free Flowing Rivers

The Southeast's famous free-flowing rivers are running at ideal levels, so there's no excuse to miss a trip on the Chattooga, French Broad or Nolichucky with Nantahala Outdoor Center. Recent rains have boosted these rivers' levels, and you can enjoy the whitewater fun as soon as this weekend. Rafting is also officially open on the Pigeon, Ocoee and Nantahala Rivers, too, and the Cheoah River releases on three dates in May-the 8th, 22 and 23. Book today and make a splash this weekend!
