It made me feel young again. Moments on the water were peaceful. At the same time the river keeps the fun moving. I truly valued having a restaurant on site after we finished rafting. While some in our group needed more time to enjoy a hot shower and freshen up after the river, others were able to order food and relax during the transition time. I am already looking for another time on my calendar to get back on the Ocoee with AU!!!

Going white water rafting with my family for my birthday was everything I could have hoped for…read more.. and more! Our guide, Spencer, was incredibly skilled as he could have navigated blindfolded... yes, he's that good! Spencer was also an absolute blast to surf the river with... very friendly, knowledgable and well-traveled... he had plenty of amusing stories to share and kept us all very engaged. I should also mention that Spencer was also seriously great at gaging our comfort level vs. our spirit of adventure... therefore, he was able to navigate us down various paths of the river making it challenging and thrilling for us! While there are plenty of white water outfitters to pick from, we intentionally picked a smaller outfitter and we were so glad we did... we felt our experience was more personal, less generic, and seriously less crowded! I only wished I had sat in the front of the boat where the photographer was situated... that would have made a fantastic birthday photo. The only other "disappointment" was that Cascade Outdoors advertised about their HOT SHOWERS which was super important to us and was one of the main reasons we chose Cascade Outdoors... but there was NO hot water available and the lack of being able to take a good shower after the rafting trip did impede on our other plans. Other than that, Cascade Outdoors and our guide, Spencer, offered us a fabulously fun white water experience on the Ocoee River! We can't wait to return!!! :)

The day started at 8:30 am at the Philip Grymes center at Coolidge Park. After a safety briefing and outline of the days events, we rode bicycles 6 miles upstream along the Riverwalk. We had a couple of breaks and were given interesting facts about the areas we were riding through. We reached the boat ramp where the kayaks were waiting for us in about an hour and a half. After a safety briefing and equipment issue, we were on our way, paddling with the current back to Coolidge Park. There were 12 of us, including the two OC employees and it took us an hour and 40 minutes to get back to the canoe ramp. The entire day (4 hours) was laid back and fun...no stress. This was a fantastic local adventure and I highly recommend it!

I felt safe at all times with our raft guide Justin and we had a blast. There was a break where we could hop out and swim around in a calm side area of the river, perfect for these hot days. Back at the outpost after our adventure we opted to get all of our boats photos and I'm so glad we did, the quality is great and the experience worth remembering. I was so pleased I couldn't help getting a shirt for myself and a hat for the hubby. I really like the retro vibe of some of their merchandise. Much fun had by all!

The instructors, from my experience and what I heard, were super animated and energetic! They made the experience for us first timers, a breeze and fun. There's a photographer who follows you along the way in which you can purchase all the photos at the end for $45. Given the quality of the photos, I feel as though it's a very fair price especially as we ended up with almost 40 pictures to look through. Overall, I had a perfect first white water rafting experience. There's bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms on site if you want to freshen up for the long car ride home. All the staff members were great especially our guide, Justin!! I would love love to come again and do the longer 6 hour ride in the near future. Highly recommend this company!
