We floated down the river on tubes for a few hours. Water felt great on a hot day. Lots of rocks though so be careful. More

We booked through Wahoo Adventures and had a great time rafting down the Nolichucky. Patrick was the best guide you could ask for...great knowledge of rafting and local history with lots of laughs in between. Highly recommended!!! More

So fun to tube on this shallow but very-exciting-in-spots river. In season, there are strawberry farms nearby for pick-your-own. More

My husband and one daughter rafted this through USA Raft and enjoyed the trip in kayaks. I like to go there to collect some rocks when the water isn't too high so I can paint them. More

This river is not dam controlled but if there has been a decent amount of rain recently it is a great ride with exciting rapids. More

Nolichucky River is a beautiful river with rapids and slow lazy-seeming areas. River rafting tours are loads of fun. But the river has a reputation for drowning fishermen and kids swimming. Wouldn't suggest you go in or on it without a good guide. More

This is a free flowing river naturally fed so it will depend on the rain how the rapids are that day. It is the deepest gorge east of the Mississippi, 3000 feet. It... More
