Rafting

Rafting is probably one of the wildest activities done at Cheerio Adventures. We use eight different rivers (New River Gorge, Ocoee, French Broad, Nantahala, Nolichucky, Chattooga, Potomac, Gauley and Yougheghany) in nearly as many states (NC, VA, WV, PA, TN, GA, SC).

The classification of rapids ranges from class II-III for Samplers to class IV for Mountains to Sea. The number of days varies from one on trips such as a New River Adventure and Seekers to two or three on the Rock Climb/Raft, the Cave/Raft, or the Adventures Unlimited program. Participants get 5 days on the Raft Rage trip.

The ages eligible are 10 to 16. The age of the participants and the design of the program are what determine the river and class rapid that each group rafts. Also the class of river and age of the participants will determine the type of raft to be used. Groups on Class II-III at times will be able to use one or two person rafts while groups on class IV will use larger 8-10 person rafts with professional guides.

No matter the river or craft everyone will be get wet and have a great time.
