Over thousands of years, the swift currents of the Nantahala River have slowly carved an incredible gorge in the mountains of western North Carolina. Here you’ll find a diverse range of activities and services for families as well as avid adventure seekers.
 

Whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River is a popular option from March to October. Choose from guided trips, rental rafts and ducks, or combine whitewater rafting with a scenic train ride on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. The half-day Nantahala rafting trip features refreshing, fun Class II and Class III rapids, culminating at Nantahala Falls, where photographers take your photo. 

The Land of Living Water Cabin Rentals is just a short drive from the whitewater rafting adventures on the Nantahala River.
