Family Traditions Begin on the River

It’s more than a rafting trip — it’s the start of a lifelong connection with nature and family.
There’s something special about heading to the mountains and sharing an adventure that brings everyone together. At NOC, every rafting trip is a chance to slow down, connect, and create memories that last long after the final rapid. From gentle family floats to exciting whitewater runs, our trips are designed for all ages and all levels of experience. Our professional guides make every moment safe, fun, and meaningful — helping kids discover confidence and families rediscover togetherness. On the river, it’s about teamwork, laughter, and experiencing nature side by side.
With NOC, your family can grow together one river at a time. Start with gentle rapids and big smiles on the Pigeon River, perfect for introducing little adventurers to the water. As your confidence — and your kids’ excitement — grows, take on the Nantahala for classic family whitewater fun, then move up to the scenic French Broad for a taste of adventure and mountain beauty. When your crew is ready for the next challenge, the Chattooga and Ocoee rivers await, offering world-class rapids and unforgettable experiences for families who’ve made rafting part of their story. Each river brings new skills, new memories, and a deeper appreciation for the Southeast’s wild places.
