We did make it on the river, but the water was so shallow (ankle deep in some places) and we dragged the bottom most the time. Lots of obstacles. rocks, tree branches, and dead fish in the water. My suggestion is to call ahead and ask for water levels, which would make your trip more enjoyable. I know its been dry lately, but also hada weeks worth of rain. The staff was helpful and friendly though.

We had a 2p appointment and actually got into the water a little early; it was overcast that day and not crowded.

If you're on the fence about rafting the Nolichucky, stop thinking and book with High Mountain…read moreExpeditions. My wife and I had an absolute blast. This wasn't just a rafting trip, it was one of the most fun days we've had in a long time. Honestly, it felt like spending the day at an amusement park, except there were no long lines, no concrete, no crowds... just an incredible river, beautiful scenery, and a whole lot more excitement than we expected. From the moment we arrived, everything was organized, professional, and friendly. The guides were outstanding. They struck the perfect balance between making everyone feel safe and keeping the trip fun and entertaining. You could tell they genuinely love what they do. The Nolichucky Gorge is absolutely gorgeous. Between the rapids, calm stretches, and mountain scenery, we couldn't stop smiling. It was adventure without feeling intimidating. As for value, I honestly don't know of many experiences that give you this much fun for the money. If you're looking for something different to do with your spouse, family, or friends, this is it. We left exhausted, soaked, laughing, and already talking about coming back. Five stars isn't enough. High Mountain Expeditions earned lifelong customers, and I'll be recommending them to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure.

It was incredibly delicious. I looked at a few options for rafting and chose Edge of the World for two reasons: the lunch menu, and that you get to re-run the rapids. That was a legit game changer. It was SOOO fun! Literally everyone had a blast re-running the rapid over and over. If I had only gotten to do it once I would have been disappointed. I highly recommend Edge of the World and would definitely ride with them again.

Little did we know it was going to be the best rafting experience we've had. Not the most insane class 7000 rapids but the level of hospitality and just general experience made this such a good trip. Go book a tour with them right now, stop reading, no really stop reading and go book.

My two boys took fly fishing lessons from Kelly at River Girl Fishing. She is amazing with kids…read more They love all things fishing and she was so great teaching them all things fly fishing. She taught them how to tie flies, where to stand in the river, when to fish, and most importantly how to be a good steward of the land. They supplied waders, boots and rods.

I'm sorry to read some of the critical reviews here. My experience and those of my friends and guests have been universally positive.
