The business operates a range of guided experiences from family-friendly Lower Ocoee floats to Olympic-caliber Upper Ocoee runs, plus advanced Class V opportunities for certified, experienced rafters. The property includes a 30-foot climbing wall with routes for ages eight and up guided by instructors, riverside pavilion with electricity and grill, first-come first-served general camping with pet-friendly rules, and the Dogwood Bunkhouse lodging that accommodates up to 31 guests with air conditioning and hot water. A conference center and land-activity combos expand options for groups and corporate retreats.
