Hiking/Rafting/Paddling Tours
Steeped in history and Hollywood, the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River gushes along the border of South Carolina and Georgia for 40 miles. Most river aficionados know it best as the backdrop for James Dickey's classic novel, "Deliverance," and the subsequent 1972 movie starring Burt Reynolds. Home to whitewater rapids of every level, the Chattooga is one of the last great adventures in the world today. Even the relatively tame Section II (open to tubers and boaters and inexperienced paddlers) contains 20 rapids! The Chattooga thunders through the Sumter National Forest, a mountainous woodland of red and white oak, birch magnolia and mountain laurel.
