Please check-in for your trip 30 minutes prior to your reservation at NOC’s Ocoee River Outpost, keeping in mind that Ocoee trips run on Eastern Standard Time. After a brief orientation and video, you’ll get geared up with pfds and paddles and load onto the big blue bus to shuttle to the river put in. Once in the raft, your experienced guide will walk you through the rafting lingo and what to expect. Then it’s down the river you go, paddling through bouncy waves and exciting rapids stopping halfway for a riverside lunch, then finishing the rest of the day on the Middle Ocoee section.
