Hiwassee Shoals Rapid is a Long Lazy Float

Rafting the Hiwassee Shoals Rapid on the Ocoee River is an experience much like the Hiwassee river. However our water is warmer. es a lazy ride down the river towards some of the best rapids. Ocoee river rafting can be relaxing at times in between the excitement of big rapids. While Hiwassee Shoals is really laid back there is still plenty of excitement to be had enjoying Tennessee whitewater on the Ocoee River. The Middle Ocoee offers nearly continuous class III action with two big class III+ rapid sure to please the whole family ages 12 and up. This video shows two trips through Hiwassee Shoals with different crews.

Hiwassee Shoals is a maze of shallow rocks and ledges with an afternoon glare to test a guides memory. The river leaving the doldrums gradually becomes shallow. The primary line begins near the center of the river negotiating a series of gate rocks and working river right to follow the current. Towards the end of the long rapid ledges begin to increase in height.
