Thank
you for choosing Adventurous Fast Rivers Rafting!
| We have set aside a spot
just for you, whether you’re a rugged white-water veteran or
a beginner enthusiast who has never rafted before. Specializing in
river experiences ranging from a family outing to a high performance
adventure, we offer group discounts, guided, guide-assisted
or unguided rafting trips, funyaks “duckies”, sit-on-top
kayaks, inflatable canoes, lake canoes, river photos, a great T-shirt
souvenir shop and much more! For our rafters, a guided trip
may be your preference and we are pleased to set you up with the best
guides on the river. Or if you choose, you may prefer to allow your
family or group the excitement of guiding your own rafts. We will
stand by our policy to do all we can to help your group understand
the “how-to’s” for enjoying the river with a guide
or on your own. |

| In short, our company
is geared to give you personal and knowledgeable service allowing
you a wonderful, memorable trip down the Nantahala (nan-tuh-hay-luh)
River! |

| 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 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, receive personal instruction, and be shuttled 7 miles upstream
to the put-in where your white-water fun will begin. |
| |
|
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.
