"Deliverance" from the Ordinary!
Coasting—even crashing!—through rapids is perfect for the adrenaline-seeking adventurer. Make plans now—whitewater sports in the Boone Area are often at their most consistent from spring through early summer. Ample rainfall in spring 2011 is creating truly great conditions. (If you're waiting for summer or fall, keep in mind that rafting then is best after periods of sustained rain—which is not at all unusual in the East's highest mountains.)
Boone Area outfitters offer river excursions for every skill level; from gentle runs through riffles and moderate rapids suitable for young families to more extreme action and excitement for the adventurous (and that includes business groups where team-buidling is the goal). Whether you imagine yourself surging slowly through small rapids or dropping off a shelf into foaming whitewater below, rafting in the Boone Area is for you.
Touch base with the experienced, full service, safety-oriented outfitting businesses below and you'll soon find yourself on one of the North Carolina High Country's world-class waterways.
