What state has the best whitewater?

Several items should be considered and there is no clear winner. As such,  the criteria includes such as the length of the season, the quality of the water flow and levels, the level of whitewater action, and costs. When it comes to whitewater rafting, the debate between East Coast vs West Coast is a hot one. Those on the East Coast point to the longer rafting seasons. With the Ocoee River in Tennessee boasting one of the longest seasons in the US. Meanwhile, out West, the water is often bigger than in the east. Western costs are higher but the guide wages are also higher, providing a great way to earn a living. The western rivers are often dependent on snow melt in the spring.

When considering the best states for whitewater rafting, some of the top contenders include Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Colorado, Idaho, and California. Tennessee is a great choice for whitewater rafting as it offers up beautiful mountainous terrain with plenty of thrilling rapids. Georgia is another great bet, with its Chattahoochee River providing plenty of rapids to satisfy both the novice and experienced rafter. However the Ocoee River is very close to Georgia located near Blue Ridge Georgia.

Different Rapids and Flows

North Carolina is a great destination for whitewater rafting. And due to its proximity to the Appalachian Mountains which offer plenty of challenging rapids. West Virginia also boasts plenty of rivers for rafting. With the Dead River being a popular destination for thrill seekers. Colorado and Idaho are great for those looking for a more remote experience. As they offer up plenty of rivers with great scenery and thrilling rapids. Finally, California has some of the most popular destinations for whitewater rafting, including the American River and the Tuolumne River.

Ultimately, the best state for whitewater rafting depends on the rafter’s individual preference and budget. But, no matter which state you choose, you’re sure to find a great rafting experience.
