If you enjoy white river rafting Tennessee is one of the best states to visit. Although there are plenty of places to enjoy the sport, one of the most popular is the Ocoee River, which has been popular with rafting enthusiasts since whitewater events took place there in the 1996 Olympics. The river was also ranked number one for whitewater rafting by the American Outdoors Association. Other popular stretches of water in the eastern part of the state include the Pigeon River and the Nantahala River. Although Tennessee’s rivers are ideal for whitewater experts, they also have some more gentle stretches, making them suitable for beginners. Most rafting companies offer a variety of different trips, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your experience and ability. Although prices can vary, expect to pay between about $40 and $100 for the typical whitewater experience.
