Itinerary:

Want a wild time?
Want to see some great fall colors while we're at it?

Come join us on a white water rafting trip down Section 4 of the Chattooga River. We'll be running Class III, IV, & V rapids. This is a beautiful river that runs down the GA - SC border and has been used in many films.

The outfitter is Southeastern Expeditions, which has been rafting this river since 1972.

We're getting a great discount price of $88.
Walk up price is $119.
You won't see this again. Take advantage of it while you can.

This will be a kick-ass trip. I had a blast when I last rafted this river back in June and am really looking forward to going back. This is scheduled to be the last AOC whitewater trip this year and you'll have to wait until Spring for your next chance.

Lunch will be included when we take a break about halfway down the river.

Wetsuits and splash jackets are included if you want.

We've had enough rain lately to keep the water levels up and lots of fun.

If everyone's up to it, we'll stop for dinner on the way back.
