    Ocoee watersports is my favorite outfitter on the entire Ocoee river. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to go down either section of the river. The owners and guides are pillars of the river community worldwide. If you want to go with experienced guides that have a deep knowledge of the history of the Ocoee river, and know how to provide a rad experience from the moment you set foot in the front door, I would highly recommend booking a trip with this company. Not only that but you can even come and take an early morning trip then rent a variety of paddle boards and inflatable kayaks to take your family or someone special out on parksville lake for an evening float. This is one of the few outfitters that is willing to tailor and customize your trip down to the very last detail within reason. See more..

    We took our 4th trip down the middle section of the Ocoee River with the NOC. I am still amazed at how they can provide a different experience each time we raft with them. Jeremy, our raft guide, was tuned into our interest and provided the best trip we've had yet. He shared inforamtion about the river, the damns and how it all works. We made our reservations by phone this time and it was as breeze. The friendly, informative service representative was very helpful in getting us set for the following day. She reminded me the trips go rain or shine before finally booking the trip for us just be sure we understood our commitment. Arriving at the NOC checkin for the Ocoee, we were surprised by the new facilities. We checked in with a great, friendly crew, had our medical screening, signed our waivers, and were directed to the trip talk area. Our conscientious trip leader went over all the gear and safety knowledge for us all to have a safe trip. See more..
