    Handicap Shower stall- you can't see the large bench seat on the opposite wall.
    Norbert C.

    Great campgrounds- the spots are Spacious you are not on top of each other and many lots have water, electricity. Although we didn't use it it looks like they do have sewer to drop your grey and black water. The restrooms are beautiful, with 4 stalls 2 private showers and 1 handicap shower stall. All the restrooms are heated in the winter- it really is a nice set up. I saw some low reviews but that was before this place was remodeled.

    Beautiful Blue Ridge Lake in Georgia. This was my view while waiting for totality #Eclipse2017.

    We found this park by pleasant accident while looking for a good spot to view the total solar eclipse. As part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, this recreation area is situated on Blue Ridge Lake, and the beach offers gorgeous mountain & forest views. The bathrooms here are well-stocked, although NOT air-conditioned. Separate dressing rooms are available in the same building as well. The small store rents kayaks & paddleboards for half & full days, plus sells bags of ice ($3 for 10lbs), cold beverages & souvenirs. Daily entry is $5 and parking is plentiful! I also saw a separate parking area for camping, but I'm not sure of those fees. The public areas were clean & well-maintained, yet very woodsy. This was a fantastic place to spend an afternoon wading in the lake and sunning in the sand!

The scenery was incredible, and the rapids provided just the right mix of thrills and fun. Our guide, Tito, was outstanding. He kept us entertained with great commentary throughout the trip, made us feel safe and confident on the river, and added so much energy and enthusiasm to the experience. His knowledge, sense of humor, and professionalism made the trip truly memorable. If you're looking for an unforgettable rafting adventure, Oar Adventure Rafting is the way to go! It is great for the young and old..

It's mid-October so the pricing wasn't peak pricing and at $40/person. My GPS glitched and turned us around a couple times so we made it just in time. We were given the safety briefing after checking in. Then we got our gear and got on the bus to get to the river. Our small group of 5 got to raft with James. He was phenomenal! James is so much like my husband's family where he can joke with a straight face and you don't know if it's a joke or not. James did an amazing job of guiding us and leading us down the Ocoee. Several in our group had never been whitewater rafting before. Everyone had a great time! It was truly amazing. Thank you so much for memories we won't ever forget!

    After looking through a multitude of other amazing whitewater rafting companies, we chose…read moreWildwater. Without knowing what the other companies are like, we can now confidently say that we were incredibly happy with our choice. The staff got right to work once we arrived. They were thorough when they went though the training and safety procedures. They made sure we knew exactly what we were doing before we got into the water. The main guide, Mark (I hope I got his name right), was excellent with teaching us and telling stories. Our guides were Jared and Jon T. Jared was finishing his last day of training. We felt secure the entire trip. I'd like to think that years of canoeing and kayaking also played a part. Jared and Jon T were great at telling us all about the upcoming 3 and 4 rapids and leading us through them. Happy to say not one of us fell out of the raft any time through the trip. Then we went zip lining. This was a fun way to to wind down after rafting. Tyler and Lilly were amazing! I'm not good with heights and I only feels concerned down the first line. After that, I felt completely secure and was hooting and hollering by the end of end of the run. Plus, they were a lot of fun to talk to and made our zip lining excursion so much fun. I highly recommend going zip lining, too! My husband and kids had never gone whitewater rafting and I hadn't been in years. Today was an incredible experience, something we will certainly remember for years to come. And should we return to this area or any of the surrounding states to whitewater raft again, we'll absolutely choose Wildwater Ltd.

    We were seeking adventure and had so many options for whitewater rafting. We decided on this…read moreparticular company for a couple of reasons 1. We could fit 4 in a raft 2. It had a coupon for $12 off!! We called on Tuesday night about 7:45 (they closed at 9) and talked to Teresa who was able to schedule our foursome for a trip at 2:00 on Wednesday. She was so helpful and gave us some tips for travel to Hartford. Once we got there we checked in with a very competent and thorough young lady. We took a short bus ride to the "put in" point. On the 10 minute ride some of the guides performed fun comedic routines which kept us from thinking about how hot we were on a bus with no AC ( except open windows), decked out in life jackets and helmets while holding our paddles upright. :-) We got paired with a river rafting guide named Brantley. He gave us great paddling instructions before we even entered the raft. Since we had all been river rafting before, he explained that the trick to having a more exciting trip is to synchronize your paddle strokes. We had a great time with Brantley. We truly appreciate his concern for our "fun factor" and especially our safe trip down the river.

Guides are friendly and fun all while giving the sense of trust that they are looking out for your safety. Our group was 4 parents in one raft and 5 young adults in another (each raft can hold 6). Be sure to tell your guide you want to "surf the rapids".
