    Our two Great Danes enjoying Blue Ridge Lake
    Brady E.

    We used Blue Ridge Boat Rentals today (Tuesday, Aug. 6th) and had a great experience. We have two Great Danes and was one of the only ones that would allow them on. The girls (Great Danes) had a blast, the customer service was quick and friendly, and boat we rented was in good shape. Look forward to using them later in the week again. Brady Eagle & Gordon Miles

    Good Family Fun or a great Sunday Funday. River tubing along the Cherohala Skyway in the Tellico…read moreRiver. Rental prices are for the day and you go tubing as much as you want within their operating hours. Prices vary by the type of tube you choose and any accessories you rent (oars and push off sticks). I opted with the premium tube with a cup holder and head/back rest accompanied by an oar. The oar really helped to keep you in the strongest current and out of low lying places in the river. They do require you to have a life vest and will provide them free of charge. If you personally decide to wear it or not - it is at your risk but you have to have one in your possession while tubing. Once checked in, you load up on to a small bus and up the river they take you. Your drop off location is "Iron Works Grille" parking lot. Iron Works is also a great location frequented by motorcycle riders traversing the Cherohala Skyway. They have food, cocktails, and occasional live band inside and on their patio. Upon arrival at the drop off location, the staff provides with your tube to float. We entered the river right at the edge of Iron Works property. We set sailing down the river at a leisurely pace. The overall trip is only .8 miles back to the starting point of Big Bears parking lot. Upon end of float, you exit the river and the staff retrieve your tube. You keep your life jacket and accessories. If you decide to take another trip you load up on the next available bus and repeat your trip. They have portable restrooms on site and a small shop to purchase t-shirts and tubing accessories. The staff was friendly and well organized. I will give them a high recommendation for being the New Kids on the Block.

    Had so much fun! Family event for us. Everyone working there was courteous and friendlyread more

It's mid-October so the pricing wasn't peak pricing and at $40/person. My GPS glitched and turned us around a couple times so we made it just in time. We were given the safety briefing after checking in. Then we got our gear and got on the bus to get to the river. Our small group of 5 got to raft with James. He was phenomenal! James is so much like my husband's family where he can joke with a straight face and you don't know if it's a joke or not. James did an amazing job of guiding us and leading us down the Ocoee. Several in our group had never been whitewater rafting before. Everyone had a great time! It was truly amazing. Thank you so much for memories we won't ever forget!

    We chose this tubing company because it was the closest place to where we were staying. Check-in…read morewas easy, the staff was friendly at first, we signed our waivers, and they even helped us inflate our tubes and it was only $10 with our own tubes. Summer let us feel the water and said, "This is as cold as it's going to get unless it rains and it will warm up the water." At no point did anyone tell us the creek was to low for tubing or that bringing our own tubes would be a problem. We were taken by the bus to the drop-off point and given no instructions except walk down the path. We asked if we needed a stick because the lady at check in said we needed one to push off the sides and he said, "Most definitely," so we each took one. Once we got in the creek, we quickly realized the water level was far too low. More than half of the trip was spent getting out of our tubes because our bottoms were scraping rocks or we were completely stuck. All four of us ended up with minor injuries from constantly walking through the rocky creek and dragging our tubes and falling on slippery rocks. The trip was supposed to take about an hour and a half, but it took us over three hours because the water was so shallow you could not float down it. When we returned, I spoke with the owner, June, hoping for some understanding, compassion or a partial refund since the conditions made the trip unsafe and unenjoyable. Instead, she seemed surprised we were unhappy and acted as though it was our fault. She claimed we had been told the water was low and it would be rough before we started, which simply isn't true. She brought over Summer who checked us in, and she also claimed she had warned us, but what she actually said was that the water was "as cold as it was going to get"--not that it was too shallow to tube. June also suggested the problem was because we brought our own tubes. That doesn't make sense, especially since an employee helped inflate them without saying they weren't appropriate. We also watched people using the company's tubes behind us, and they had to get out and carry their tubes through the same shallow sections. This clearly wasn't an issue with our equipment--it was an issue with the creek conditions. I also asked June if she had been on the creek and she said no. That seems crazy that the owner has not been down the creek. To make matters worse, the employee who had helped inflate our tubes and later drove the bus tried to dismiss our concerns by saying, "Have you ever been to Georgia? It's way worse." That was completely beside the point--we weren't in Georgia, and our experience was with this company. Then, because we voiced our concerns, he told us, "Well, if you're going to cause so much commotion, you don't ever have to bring your ass back here." I responded, "Don't worry, we won't." We've gone tubing many times at other locations and have never experienced anything like this. If the water was too low for a safe and enjoyable trip, they should have been honest about the conditions and not sent customers out. It wasn't worth spending three hours dragging tubes over rocks and leaving with injuries. The creek conditions were dangerous, but the way management and staff handled legitimate customer concerns was even worse. We definitely won't be returning and I definitely would recommend no one else does.

The place appeared well-organized and inviting, so we waited for about ten minutes. Eventually, an employee arrived in a van, seemingly returning from a pick-up run. He asked how he could assist us, and I mentioned that we were interested in the 2-hour paddle--their most popular option--referencing the sign that clearly stated it was available anytime before 3 PM. We had arrived just after 2 PM. However, he informed us that they were closed and no longer offering that paddle for the day. I pointed out that both the sign and the website indicated that the last drop-in time was 3 PM. He acknowledged this but explained that since it was towards the end of the season and business was slow, they had decided to close early to avoid losing money. It would be helpful if the website and signage were updated to reflect these changes, or at the very least, if the information was honored. We had planned this activity for our afternoon during our short stay in North Georgia, and it was disappointing to find it unavailable despite the posted information.
