This course will consist of over 5 class 4+ rapids and 10 smaller rapids. It will be one of the most exciting whitewater rafting rivers in the US! The biggest distinction between this river an other rivers is the volume of water which will be in the river when it is rafted.
For comparison, the rapids on the Ocoee River can reach up to 1,100 cubic feet per second in volume, while the rapids at the Chattahoochee can reach up to 13,000 cubic feet per second in volume. This makes the rapids the largest south of Canada and east of the Colorado!
