Some friends of ours first recommended going down the middle section of the Ocoee with Rolling Thunder the summer of 2011. It was one of the funnest time I've ever had. Our guide, Joe, who they've rafted with several times was fantastic. We requested Joe again this time, but he couldn't make it so we rafted with Richard, who also... More

While the bulk of the trip was fun, we did have an experience during the trip as our entire raft was cleared out while going over a level 4 rapid. Two of the four of us had an issue securing a safety rope to get on dry land, which was an extremely scary experience and one of us was trapped... More

Had a great trip Saturday afternoon, 9/8/12, on the middle Ocoee. Rained the whole time, but who cares. Austin our gude did a great job. I think Liz and I might just take on the upper Ocoee next trip. Highly recommended!

For my first river rafting experience, I am glad it was with Rolling Thunder River Company in McCaysville, GA. Will, our guide, or BLT as he is referred to, was a blast. He made our trip very memorable. It wasn't just rafting down the middle Ocoee. He was full of knowledge about the area, the vegetation, the wildlife and so... More

We had two families (kids ages 7-14) and all had a great time tubing. Easy to get to & they are ok with taking coolers on the river! There was a water release that day, so it was pretty fast moving, but the 3 mile trip took about 90 minutes.

I booked a Double Trouble combo trip down the Upper and Middle Ocoee for 6 adults in early September and we had a BLAST! Check-in was well organized as was orientation. Our guide was Brian (aka BLT) and he was superb - calm, knowledgable and personable. The experience level varied in our group (it was one person's first rafting trip,... More

We had an awesome trip. I took my 15 yr old daughter and her friend. Her friend had never been before. We had a great time and our guide, Bruce, was very skilled, personable and knowledgeable about he river. The outpost doubles as a store and people are very nice and fun. The DT Express trip was the full river... More

We have used Rolling Thunder the past 3 years to ride the Nantahala and we decided to try the more adventurous Ocoee. (site of the river rafting used for the 96' Olympics) The whole experience was great. Our guide Cole was excellent and he made the trip down the Ocoee a thrill. Whether it be the Ocoee or the Nantahala... More
