|  The
Nolichucky - sometimes roaring and surging, while
other times serene and playful, the Nolichucky is always beautiful. The tributaries
that form the river start among the slopes of the largest
mountain in the east, Mount Mitchell. Then the Nolichucky
turns west and forces its way through the spine-like ridge
of the Unaka Mountains that form the border between North
Carolina and Tennessee. The Nolichucky gorge is surrounded by towering
cliffs, hardwood forests encasing the steep slopes, rhododendron
and laurel cascading over banks of the river. The riverside
outpost is adjacent to the Appalachian Trail, which is great for
a mid-afternoon stroll or adventure.
We offer Nolichucky River Gorge whitewater rafting trips for ages 12+. No experience required. We also offer a family float trip for ages 4+.
Nolichucky River Rafting allows you to get away from
the everyday hustle and bustle of life. Come and experience
a wonderful wilderness adventure with your family and friends
today!
Nolichucky River Trips are run by Mountain Adventure Guides, DBA.

Nolichucky Express:
This is the same stretch of river included with the day trip
minus the lunch, making this a superb trip for those on a
tight schedule or just someone who wants to raft down the
gorge at a quicker pace. (Details)
Lower Nolichucky Trip:
Relaxed family paddling on the unforgettable river. Enjoy
the leisurely pace of the river as it winds its way in and
out of the Cherokee National Forest. (Details)
About the Base Camp:
Our Nolichucky base camp is bordered by majestic scenery on
every side. The Nolichucky River itself flows in front, while
the Appalachian Trail runs through the Cherokee National Forest
in the rear of the facility. The lodging options include tents
on platforms (thick foam mattresses included) to rent at the
campground next door, or you can stay in the Crockett Cabin
(limited availability), a traditional log cabin bunkhouse
on the river.
