Virtual Blue Ridge has launched a brand new section on Whitewater Rafting to add yet another valuable tool for anyone planning an adventure on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
After emails and requests asking for more information on rafting on and off the Blue Ridge Parkway, we put together this brand new section to help travelers and fun-seekers with the information that would be the most helpful.
Features include a glossary of the classes of rapids for even the most novice of water-goers, and a growing list of places to raft accessible from the Parkway along with the range of classes available on each. You can choose from easy floating family trips down the Watauga River to wild and crazy adventures on the Nolichucky.
Families seeking fun on the many rivers of the Blue Ridge Mountains need look no further. You can even learn to talk like an experienced rafter with our whitewater lingo of rafting terms.
Not quite ready to grab your "farmer john" and practice your "draw strokes?" (See our glossary for help). Then check out our collection of whitewater books, and our handy link directory for additional help and information.
Once you've checked out the page, be sure to contact the Virtual Blue Ridge team to let us know what you think!
