We live in Michigan but recently bought a cottage in Tennessee and were looking for activities to bring my extended family down for visits. Well, we found one! Who knew Tennessee had such amazing rapids down the Ocoee River? We've done the Kern River, the New River, but this was by far our best rafting trip we've experienced, and I highly recommend the Cherokee outfit. They were easy to find and work with, and had a team of experienced and fun guides. We had Max, and he was terrific. He led us through 4 and 5 rapids without incident but with lots of excitement, laughs and fun! I can't recommend this adventure enough!
