Nolichucky Gorge
The NEW Nolichucky Gorge provides an exhilarating whitewater experience through the deepest gorge east of the Mississippi River. This section has always been a gem of the southeast, but has seen a once in a lifetime geological event following Tropical Storm Helene that is sure to not be missed. This section starts off with a bang with many class IV rapids that require participation from all guests. Following the floods, this section now has many more Class IV rapids to keep you on your toes! With plenty of excitement, you will also have plenty of time to relax, swim, and take in the scenery that surrounds the gorge!
