Tubing & White-Water Rafting
During the warm months of summer and early Autumn, take a dip in the many rivers and streams that flow throughout the area. This includes the beautiful and popular Chattahoochee River. If you have ever heard of Tubin` the Hooch, this river is where the name originated. Tubin` the Hooch simply means exploring the Chattahoochee River with a tube. Tubing down the River is guaranteed to bring hours of enjoyment to the whole family.
Thrill seekers can jump onto the Chattooga or the Tallulah River to enjoy an exhilarating class V white water rafting adventure. Beginners and families may prefer traveling down the Chattahoochee River where the waters are typically calm. Whereas intermediate rafters can practice their skills on the Tiger River.
