Double the fun with this inclusive combo package of a whitewater rafting trip and railroad adventure through the spectacular Nantahala outdoors!
Enjoy a seamless day of outdoor family fun when you combine whitewater rafting with a scenic train ride on this fully guided raft and rail adventure. It’s all aboard at the train depot in Bryson City, where you’ll begin your adventure with a relaxing train ride. Sit back and enjoy the soothing chug of the classic locomotive and take in impressive mountain views as you travel through tunnels, over Fontana Lake and into the Nantahala Gorge.
Grab a shady spot on the riverbanks or soak up some sun while you enjoy a delicious picnic lunch. Then it’s time to meet up with your guide for the next leg of your journey. After a quick paddling orientation, your certified guide will lead you on an exciting 8 miles of constant waves and swift, clear current. The Nantahala River is a delight for all ages, from novice paddler to experienced adventurer.
Tackle exciting Class II and III rapids with names like Root Canal, the Isle of Dumping and Tumble Dry. Take advantage of the river’s serene spots of sparkling flat water in between the rapids to admire the sun-soaked views around you. But stay alert because the trip ends with a wet and wild grand finale at Class III Nantahala Falls.
Make memories that will last a lifetime on this Nantahala whitewater rafting and railroad adventure!

For this experience, our partners are taking extra measures to prevent any potential spread of COVID-19. These measures include all staff wearing face coverings when appropriate during your visit. Our partners kindly request that everyone participating in an activity have a face covering and use it when in close proximity to others. These coverings may include a cotton face mask, a disposable face mask, a bandana or a neck gaiter (Buff style).
Our partners also request that everyone wash their hands thoroughly before, during, and after activities with them. Although they will provide soap and hand sanitizer when needed - they would like you to bring your own to guarantee availability. Our partners will be implementing an online waiver system and request you look for a link on their website after you have booked your reservation.
