| In the heart
of the Nantahala National Forest, the Nantahala
River is a family friendly, nationally recognized river of
recreation. The most popular in the Southeast, it is one of the oldest
rivers in the world and gets its name from an Indian word meaning,
“Land of the noonday sun”. It is a Class II-III dam-controlled
river pulling its water from the bottom of Nantahala Lake.
The water is released from a dam about 15 miles upstream and pulled
from approximately 250 feet in depth, and released daily. Since the
water does not see sunlight until its release, it stays cool year
around. The pristine, crystal-clear mountain water then runs its course
through the Nantahala River emptying into Fontana
Lake. |

| March
through October, your NC Whitewater
Rafting Adventure begins at the Adventurous Fast Rivers
Rafting outpost on the banks of the Nantahala River,
in the Nantahala Gorge, 14 ½ miles West of Bryson City, North
Carolina on Highway 74. After checking in at the store counter, you’ll
get fully equipped (being personally fit into your life jacket), receive
personal instruction, and be shuttled 7 miles upstream to the put-in
where your white-water fun will begin. You will then raft down 7 miles,
briefly stop by our outpost to receive specific instructions on how
to run the "Falls" & continue on down river for the
Grand Finale! We will be there to take your photos & shuttle you
back to the outpost which is only 1 mile from the take-out which means
just a moments ride to your dry clothes & pictures of you conquering
the Falls! |
|
| |
|
| On the area’s
most scenic terrain, you will experience over 20 named rapids, including
“Quarry”, “Whirlpool”, and “Lesser Wesser”.
There are plenty of waves to crash through and several calm water
opportunities to simply enjoy the natural beauty and wonders of the
Nantahala River and the Great Smoky Mountains
when on a Nantahala River Rafting Adventure! |
