The Upper
Nolichucky
The Upper
Nolichucky is one of the wildest and most
scenic rivers in the Southeast. It's exciting and challenging! From the
start
it drops into a ten-mile long gorge with class III- IV rapids. Paddlers do
not
need prior experience to enjoy raft or funyak. We'll guide you past rugged
rock
bluffs, crystal clear springs and mountains that rise to elevations of
3000' the river eases in intensity in the later part. Allowing you to enjoy the
majestic mountain canyon.
Minimum age12 - Fully Guided- No experience
needed, snack or lunch included see formats:
There are three different formats for the Upper Nolichucky
- The Full
Day
This is our most popular trip and the traditional format. Exciting rapids, beautiful scenery plus the time to enjoy it and the company of your friends. Smorgasbord Lunch is included. - The Economy
trip
This is the trip for those with limited time, or where cost is important. It's a fast hard dash down the upper with no lunch and non-stop paddling. It is dependent on water levels and the lower may be substituted. - The
Deluxe Trip
This trip starts a little later in the day, helpful if you're a late riser or have a drive. It's usually less crowded. There is a snack on the river and dinner afterwards. Lunch before the trip is an option.
The Lower Nolichucky
A relaxing
way to experience the river. This stretch is perfect for the family; it's
gentle enough for the younger children. The Lower has class I and II rapids
with one class III at the end. You'll float pass 700' cliffs, forested
woodlands and sandy beaches. You might even see a deer or an osprey. You'll
have time to enjoy swimming in the quiet pools between gentle rapids and
maybe
hike to a cascading waterfall.
