Amazing trip, great guides and great company My gf and I decided to take a quick trip to the mountains. We look at OAR for whitewater rafting. We called about 9pm and Sarah Beth answered and took our reservation for the next morning. Sarah Beth also ended up being our guide on a half day trip. She talked a lot about being assigned more office duties and spreadsheets versus guiding runs down the river. My gf does not know how to swim so I was a little nervous. Sarah Beth was truly amazing asking at every section of rapids if we want to go big, risky do 360’s take the hard path or easy path. Thankfully my gf agreed to go big every time. We did get completely thrown on the last run of the day and we loved that part of the experience. Sarah Beth should definitely be on the water more whoever makes up the schedule. She knew everyone on the river and had many friends from other companies stopping to talk to her. The 3 other rafts with OAR were also guided by great guides who were a lot of fun, very kind, funny and interacted with the guest so well. I am now trying to schedule a trip with my son and his high school buddy’s for a few days. Thank you Rick and Diana

White Water Rafting, Camping & Hiking This was my first White Water Rafting trip. As a solo gentleman of 60, I was excited. I camped at their location for 5 days. The showers & restroms were large & clean. The Staff, friendly, accessible and accommodating. I did the Upper & Middle Rafting, along with a tubeing event. All the Guides were professional, explained each persons responsibility and explained Safety in detail. I will use OAR every year. This was a great location for trail hikeing and off road biking. The trails at the 1996 Olympic were fantastic to ride along, and to watch the rafters Also, with their location to Lake Ocoee, I was able to Paddleboard for hours, each day. If you brought your trailered boat, this campground with plenty of room for boat trailer & camping would be a top choice

Best Honeymoon Adventure Ever!! In July my husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon in Tenessee, and I had never been whitewater rafting before. Now I can't wait to go back!! we signed up for the daytrip and requested Jon Hall which was the best decision ever! he was so skilled, and just the most fun guide ever, with an incredible blend of experience, immaculate vibes and knock your socks off adventure! It was worth every penny, and we can't wait to visit again for our anniversary and will absolutely be requesting him again! (P.S. the other rafting companies might have exciting pictures on their website, but this place is the real deal!)

Great Weekend Experience OAR hosted our Men's Retreat this weekend. Good people at OAR treated us like family!The food was great and they didn’t hold back any. they did everything possible to make this a retreat to remember.

Amazing Men's Retreat at OAR! OAR hosted our church's Men's Retreat this weekend. What an amazing place to grow closer to the Lord and to fellowship with other brothers. The kind folks at OAR treated us incredibly well. The food was delicious and plentiful; they did everything possible to make this a retreat to remember. OAR had many activity options available, but I chose to go river rafting! The guides were thorough and professional. Their knowledge of the river and equipment made this a safe and exhilarating adventure. Special thanks to my river guide, Tyler, whose skill and antics made this such a fun, exciting and memorable rafting experience.

Exciting and fun trip for a first-timer! One of the most fun things I did the whole time I was in Tennessee! I joined a larger group of rafters as a solo traveler and had so much fun. I felt very safe even though it was my first time rafting, but it was such a blast! Cowboy did a great job guiding us through the rapids and answering all of my questions about the rafting industry and the natural/cultural/industrial history of the area. Wish I had signed up for a longer trip!

An absolute blast Great fun for all ages - our group ranged from 12 to 50+ and everyone had the thrill of a lifetime. Our guide, Jon, was top notch and will definitely plan a return trip one day. OAR had great prices and very easy to book online.

So much fun! My wife and I went rafting as part of a birthday package I made for my wife. We had the best time with OAR and our guide Charlie! He was ver knowledgeable of the area in general and a very experienced guide on the water. He knew just how to cater to our experience to make it memorable. We will definitely be back with other friends, family, and colleagues!
