Famous as the filming location for the movie Deliverance, the Chattooga River is considered the crown jewel of whitewater rafting in the Southeast.
It flows through a pristine, undeveloped landscape and offers some of the most exciting and challenging rapids in the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountain region. On May 10, 1974, the Chattooga was officially designated a National Wild and Scenic River, just six years after the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act was enacted on October 2, 1968.
Your attention, please…
Wildwater rafting is closed to the public, but you can still enjoy the river by booking your own rafting adventure through Wildwater, Ltd. In the meantime, we invite you to join us for the Forest Therapy Hike—a peaceful and restorative experience designed to connect you with nature in a meaningful way.
