Please Stand By While We Correct Some Technical Difficulties

It has recently come to our attention that two tools on our website are in disrepair. Please bear with us with us as we diligently work on getting these back up and working so as to make your Wildwater Rafting experience a thrill of a lifetime!

If you have tried to make an online reservation from our website and not heard anything back, please call our Reservation Office and book your trip by phone. They can be reached at (866) 319-8870.

If you have recently tried to request the document "America's Leading Outfitter's: Guidelines to planning a successful rafting experience." and wondering “Where the heck is it?” Please know it is coming soon. Until then please use, as a reference, the informative documents located from our main page under the Group Tab: Group Leader Resources.

Thank you for your patience while we work this out and have a great time on the river!

Celebrate Mother Earth

At Wildwater every day is Earth Day. I ran across a similar philosophy on a lot of blogs but, at Wildwater, this is our core belief. Since 1971 we have been more than just business people making a living from the environment. It was the main reason why Jim and Jeanette Greiner started this rafting business, and was the driving force to get the Chattooga River protected. We wanted to share the river with our Guests and friends.

We feel very strongly that rafting is a great hook to get people out into the woods and onto the river. And then, if we can share and expose our River Guests to the beauty of the mountains and how important it is to protect and preserve the quality of the experience, then maybe we'll have created more advocates to keep the water, air and soil clean.

I think it is obvious that most of our Team Members are conservationists. We have been leaders in highway and river clean ups from our very beginning. We are also the largest contributors to the Chattooga Guided Outfitters and Conservation Fund and the Nantahala River Conservation Fund. These area conservation funds focus on giving back to the specific river's regions with student scholarships, donations to local volunteer fire and rescue units, and funding of water quality studies.

So, Happy (belated) Earth Day, and come see why the Wildwater Ltd. Rafting Team is so passionate about what we do.

Here we go!!!

Wildwater Rafting has now moved one more step into the electronic social world! We recently hired Zach Carter to help us navigate the social media opportunities on the web (most of the rest of us have been paddling, hiking, sailing, raising small children or being discouraged by our teens from joining or otherwise following the social networking developments.) We now have a blog up and running thanks to Erin from our Chattooga River location and Zach here in Asheville.
We're planning on posting updates and good insider info on things like the Chattooga River water levels or the Cheoah River release dates plus updates and comments from Wildwater raft guides and other team members. Carolyn, our Nantahala River area guru, also loves to provide links to unique sites she finds. One she found recently gave me the heads up that tonight, April 22nd, you can see a pretty cool light show in the sky if you have the energy to stay up until midnight (for the best parts). I am guessing some meteor shower activity will also occur before then. Either way I am headed outside tonight and looking up to the stars thanks to her great tip. We are working on some cool new programs to offer folks coming over to the Nantahala River, staying at the Yurts or the group lodge. Please comment and let us know how we can help you get out and have fun or learn more about the rivers and areas we call home.
