Tuckaseegee River
You can also raft the Tuckaseegee River with us.
In fact, we've been rafting the Tuckaseegee (Tuck) for over 20 years. It's milder and warmer than the Nantahala. You'll usually get to stop and play in the river. You'll raft the scenic lower gorge of the Tuck.
There are scheduled dam-releases on the Tuck throughout the rafting season. This gives you adequate and predictable water levels throughout the rafting season.
The Tuck is 25 minutes from our Nantahala Rafting Center and Park.
The Tuck is a great river for Duckys (aka inflatable kayaks). The warm water and mild rapids make Duckys on the Tuck a good option for many people. You can choose one or two person inflatable kayaks. We have more two person inflatable kayaks than one person.
We also have a number of 3 to 5 person rafts. We have larger rafts available if we have periods of high water.
