In the back area along the shops in the Etowah Mills. They provide the equipment to enjoy the water effect on the Etowah river. Let me just state this, this trek endured was a 14 mile slow trickle. Granted it's a beautiful way to beat the heat wave we've been having these days but with two people it was a quiet paddle. We were excited about picking up speed at certain points. But it was a long day (5 1/2 hours of making it to the end. I would recommend going with a group of people who enjoy the outdoors and with some adult libations. Just glad we checked this off the list on the different rivers we've been on.

Caleb and Lily took me on my first whitewater rafting trip and completely ruined me (that's how fun…read moreand exhilarating and delightful and fun it was). If we can get our schedules worked out, I want to come back next week with my three kids (we live 3.5 hours away in Nashville, TN). I was supposed to be on my honeymoon this week, but we called off the wedding, and I couldn't get a refund on my cabin, so I went by myself. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, so I stopped in at the Cooperhill Brewery the night that I arrived & met Caleb, my guide. He said to contact Raft1 and book a raft for Thursday or Friday and ask for him as my guide. There was only one other person in my group who was rafting solo, so I actually ended up in a four-person raft with two guides. Lily was the perfect balance to Caleb and helped me feel confident. I just followed her lead, did what she did, and we had the best time. Caleb was the perfect guide. He's a great storyteller. He obviously has a great sense of adventure, but he was also concerned for our safety. He kept us laughing, too. After my raft experience, I did a zip line tour with Jamie and Weston. (Sorry, Jamie, for slamming into you on one of the zips!) Weston and Jamie were fantastic guides. They seemed genuinely interested in helping me have a positive experience, being concerned for my safety but also helping to stretch me to do things that seemed terrifying at first (you know, like jumping off of a perfectly good platform). I can't recommend Raft1 highly enough. I wished I lived closer so I could come back more often! I loved every minute!

He did a great job of giving us directions on how not to wipe out on the Olympic section of the river. The lunch that was included was good. There was no snacks or water on the boat. There was really hot. They have showers, changing rooms and bathrooms which are very clean after you get out of the river at the outpost. It was packed on Sunday we couldn't even sign up for the zip lining.

Can't say enough good things about Wildwood Outfitters! We were in Helen, GA for Memorial Day…read moreweekend. Cool River was not renting tubes because of the dangerous water conditions. I appreciated their honesty because I'd had a terrible experience tubing previously. They recommended Wildwood Outfitters as an option to do something else, farther down the river where it's deeper and potentially more calm. It's crazy how much the water conditions can change from day to day! Chris greeted us at Wildwood Outfitters. He was so nice and knowledgeable. He discouraged us from kayaking - none of us were familiar with this river, although we had been kayaking before, and most of the sections where they take folks are Class 3+ rapids. Again, due to my past trauma, I thought it was best to take his advice, even though we were disappointed. Just as we were about to leave, he ran back out, and asked if we might be interested in rafting instead. He explained how it would work for the three of us and which section of the river would be best (Section 2, mostly flat or Class 1 rapids with only one area of Class 2 rapids), so we decided to take a chance. It cost about $100, so about $30 pp, with no particular time restrictions. Before we left, Chris took the time to explain how to navigate the rapids, what to expect every step of the way, and what to do if you fall out of the raft. We got helmets and life jackets, as well as a bag to keep our things dry. Although largely unsupervised, we were able to leave our keys in the outpost. They dropped us off and helped us carry the raft down to the embarkation point. I would have been terrified no matter what, but I felt well prepared. The river conditions were exactly as described and Chris's advice was spot on. He'd told us where to call from the raft when we were ready to be picked up, and we were so happy to see his smiling face (and his adorable dog) at the shore. Apparently the rafts hadn't been used in some time, and although they were properly inflated and maintained, there had been a small leak causing the raft to deflate and take on a lot of water. Thankfully they'd given us a bucket to bail the water out, but I basically spent the entire time bailing (giving me a good excuse not to have to paddle, though!). Chris felt terrible. He immediately offered us our money back, or anything else he could do to compensate us. We still had a great time and everyone was safe and dry at the end so we didn't feel that a refund was necessary. We ended up grabbing a couple of cold drinks and some t-shirts and called it even. The outpost was well-equipped with a portopotty, a changing area, and a shower. If you have your own kayak/raft you can hire them just to take you to your selected section. The prices are very reasonable. I would 100% recommend this business and will even think about doing it again!
