Ready for a whitewater adventure the whole family can enjoy? Join us
on a rafting adventure down the scenic Watauga River. We've been rafting
there for 23 years, and it's just as fun summer after summer! |
We've got everything covered from gear to professional whitewater guides
to photos of your family to a real home cooked lunch, straight from April's
kitchen. |

The Watauga River is dam-controlled, which means that the water level
is great from spring to fall, guaranteed! For a little extra adventure,
ride rodeo at the biggest rapid, Anaconda, or reserve a torrent (a sit
on top kayak, no experience necessary) to take down with the rafters in
your group when you make your reservation. |
