    White water rafting
    Thu-nga H.

    My group and I came in the early morning Sunday and already this place was packed (not in a bad way). Paul was our guide and we honestly LOVED him so much! He cracked jokes left and right with no hesitation and kept the energy flowing. He was so thorough with explanations and gave us compliments that boosted our energy. During the lower grade water flow, he would have conversations with us and made us feel like we were not strangers or tourists. There were plenty of parking spaces that were 15 - 30 feet away that gets you straight to the front of the center so don't worry if you have to park in the "additional parking" zone, everything is conveniently close. There were detailed signs to navigate you towards different areas of the center, which was a small cozy size so you won't be lost anyways with lots of tree shade! All employees were so kind and nice with lots of energy to help you sponge up for the rafting session. Time was smoothly ran from the moment you check in, tutorial, bus ride, rafting, and journey back. The rapids that we experienced were ranged from 1-4. Our group had a BLAST!!! And we can't wait to book our next tour! You guys have to try out this place, most definitely worth our time.

    Had a blast doing a full-day trip with friends down the Ocoee with OAC. We had a group of four that was paired up with two others (six seemed to be the average max crew size) and started around 1030-11. Our day lasted until 4pm with a mix of big rapids, plus times where we could get out and float, plus a BBQ by the side of the river around 1pm that included burgers and chicken sandwiches. Our guide, Kevin, definitely made the trip even better with his expertise, knowledge and jokes. Safety was also on his mind, so while there were plenty of thrills that could have tossed us at any moment, we never felt unsure or worried for our safety. There were some interesting and much appreciated history stories that went along with our trip. Comparing our outing with other companies out on the Ocoee, OAC definitely seemed to stick out, as we never got caught on rocks or put into hairy situations. The store at OAC had plenty of gear and swag that you could pick in case you came ill-prepared. My only major complaint is that the pictures that the company took of us on the river, while done professionally, were too expensive to consider buying. $15 for one and $80 for the set is too just too much. Aside from that five stars!

    Great new trail system in Murphy, NC! I can't wait to see how it develops and progresses over the…read moreyears. The Inner Lopp was great and a nice short loop for my 5yr old to go on for his first ever MTB trail ride. Trails are groomed pretty well and I can't wait to go back and try the 5 mile Gobbler Trail. Make sure to drive a vehicle you don't mind getting scratched by brush and can handle a moderately rough gravel access road. No way I'd take a nice car down this road. Trails aren't marked as you enter but are further up the trail where it has a junction. I'm sure this will change as the more permanent signs are made. Currently there are only two loops. You can go either way when the trail forks as they both return you back to the main trail head. The map on the website is what's planned for the future so don't plan your trip around that. I've added a pic of the current map that's at the junctions. I'm excited to see more recreation opportunities in Murphy. There are more trails in progress so stay tuned people, this a wonderful addition to the area.

    Gobbler loop is a longer variation than Grape Smuggler. Super clean trail. Minimal human…read moreinteraction! Very relaxing. There were signs throughout telling you how far you had till the end. The gravel road is a challenge! The first half mile is the hardest on your vehicle! Don't give up, when you make it past there, it gets easier!

    This is a very fast single seat coaster ride and is part of the Ober Gatlinburg system of rides…read more The sky lifts and are part of the Ober Gatlinburg park as well. This is not a ride for the weak unless you break it a lot with the pull up handles. You are striped tight into the seat. It goes fast and it Is over in about 2 to 3 minutes. YOU control the speed. The faster you chose you go the more g-forces you will feel. It does Not go upside down but just takes a lot of sharp turns which give the g-force feeling of about 4 G's. This ride is extremely safe. It has a lot of automated safety features such as automatic breaking if you get closer than 180 feet to the car in front of you. In the unlikely event the seat belt came loose it will automatically stop as well. So you are not going to be able to do something unsafe or stupid on this ride. There are cameras that monitors the riders as well as workers posted in look-out booths along the route. I would do this ride and not the "sled ride" that had the concrete pad. This ride is very smooth. I rode it full speed with my braking handles fully released so that it would roll as fast as possible and it was so much fun.

    The coaster looks like it was built by Handyman Joe over a long vacation. In other words, it looks…read morescary and unsafe. It isn't, but it certainly looks that way. The wait was short but the explanation of how to control the sled was shorter. No problem. You can ride the whole ride without the brake. I don't recommend that. You will be thrown around and beat up a little bit if you do that. If you get too close to the sled in front of you, the sled will brake automatically. That can ruin your experience if you have a scaredy-cat in front of you. Overall, lots of fun. Different. Too expensive.
