The Hiwassee River Gorge offers Class I-III rapids suitable for all levels of paddling in a beautiful mountain setting. On this overnight trip with ORAC experience exploring a new area and an introduction to whitewater kayaking while escaping the heat in the cool waters of the Hiwassee.

ORAC provides all major equipment needed so grab a friend and make plans to spend your weekend with us.  All you’re responsible for is your own clothes and food and toothbrush!  The drive is 4-5 hours so you’ll have plenty of time to cram in some studying on the way to and from our destination.  The adventure fee also covers all lodging and guiding down the Hiwassee River so don’t let your inexperience deter you from joining us!
