Our company started in 1978 as a family-run operation, and still running strong today. Guests love our rough cut, hand-constructed outpost/store located along Hwy 64 just outside of the Cherokee National Forest and Chilhowee Mtn. Our goal is that every guest of Cherokee Rafting will leave with the desire to return with family and friends. We specialize in all sizes and types of groups, including: church youth and young-at-heart groups, association groups like scout troops and rotary clubs, in addition to business team-building groups. « less

From the moment we parked the car and we met the office staff, Jack the bus driver, Katie a river guide and Jordan our guide it was a... More

This was our first white water trip and we never quit smiling the whole time! Our guide made it a truly personal experience! She learned everyone's name! We plan on going back and doing the class 5! The CD of photos is truly a nice touch to a wonderful trip! More

Our guide knew the river and how to make the trip a blast. This was our first time rafting and will definitely go again. Cherokee Rafting will be the company we use. More

My dad and I started rafting with Cherokee five years ago and we've made it a family tradition. We always look forward to our trip every August for my dad's birthday; and of course, rafting is always a blast. Wherever life takes us, I know our annual adventure will bring us together. Thanks for the memories, Cherokee. More

We brought a BCM group from TWC. Everyone had a blast. Half the group had been rafting before and the other half had never been. No matter if you had experience or not Cherokee Rafting really showed us all a great time. Our guides were awesome and doing crazy things the whole trip. It is one trip none of us... More

I have always been afraid of rafting because I cannot swim. I've had several friends and family members try to get me to go before, but I've never been braved enough to go. This past week I got up the nerve to go with a group and let me tell you, I've been missing out. The people at Cherokee Rafting... More

After emailing a few outfitters, my decision for Cherokee was an easy one: - they were quick to reply with an offer, custom-tailored to our needs, including a price special (some others were simply referring to their homepages or just copy&pasting their prices) - our German credit cards didn't work, but they were very helpful in finding a pay cash...

Everyone in our family loved the rafting trip, we had a great time. Our guide was Dan, he was great too. We did the full river trip and would love to do it again with other family members. The only thing we didn't really care for, was overhearing guides from the company that were in other rafts (not our guide,... More

“What a Trip” My wife, daughter, and myself decided to add a whitewater trip to our vacation in the Smoky Mountains. Since I had never been whitewater rafting before I searched all over the web for a good quality rafting company for our trip. Cherokee Rafting kept popping up on just about every review forum I could find. I emailed... More
