Raft With Us!

About Us

We are 20 Minutes West of Bryson City, North Carolina, located in the Beautiful Nantahala River Gorge, 1.5 miles from the bottom of the river.
We design and manufacture our own Rafts, specifically for this River. No other Outfitter in the USA has tacked this task..
We are Family Owned and Operated. Mark and Mom will service you personally.
There isn't any "Good" reason to go anywhere else.



We are 1 mile from the Takeout, so, you won't be waiting on us to fill a big bus for a long trip to get you back to the Outpost,, we are constantly moving, and we are only a few minute drive from the Takeout.... You get shuttled while you are still dripping wet. No Long Waits like our Competitors.

People ask: "Why are your trips so short?"
Our Answer.. We all run the Full River Trip. It is 2 hours on the Water. Four to Six Hours at other Outfitters.. Well, it's their Wait Times..
When you return: We have Hot Showers and changing rooms.. And, yes, we have cement floors, so we are not the other guys.
You won't beat our prices on T-Shirts, Caps, Visors, Neither will you beat the quality.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it..
Well, come see for yourself. We are not going anywhere.
