Never-Ending Adventure at the Nantahala Outdoor Center


Smoky Mountain cabinsIf you've ever visited the Smoky Mountains, you know that our neck of the woods is jam-packed with river and wilderness adventure. The Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) rests only a few scenic miles from nearly a dozen of our Smoky Mountain cabins with modern amenities and breathtaking vistas. The NOC offers tourists a taste of North Carolina mountain fun and excitement. Speed down the Nantahala River on a whitewater rafting trip, zip line through the breathtaking Nantahala Gorge, and mountain bike on a mountainside. Your upcoming getaway with Watershed Cabins is guaranteed to be the highlight of your summer!

Whitewater Rafting

A vacation to North Carolina isn't complete without a whitewater rafting trip down one of our rushing rivers. Whitewater rafting remains one of the most thrilling experiences imaginable. Nantahala Outdoor Center offers fully-guided excursions on the Nantahala, French Broad, Ocoee, Pigeon, and Chattooga rivers. Each river has different levels of difficulty from beginner to advanced. The NOC has the best prices and most skilled staff in the state. Whether you've never rafted or are aiming to master the most grueling rapids, you're bound to have the time of your life on one of our scenic and demanding rivers.

Mountaintop Zip Line Tours

We try to persuade all our guests to embark on an exhilarating mountaintop zip line tour. The Nantahala Outdoor Center provides brave guests the opportunity to cross this incredibly invigorating sport off their bucket list. We dare you to watch this video and not get goosebumps. Participants sling through the air, high above the lush forest, for hours on end. Many of our secluded Smoky Mountain cabins are a short drive from a day filled with mountaintop zip lining!

Outdoor Adventures

If racing down a rushing river and flying through trees on a mountaintop is too extreme then try an afternoon kayak, SUP, mountain bike, or hiking adventure. The NOC has scenic and moderate mountain biking trails that snake through the Tsali Recreation Area. We always recommend hiking enthusiasts to try the Walk in the Woods Waterfall Excursion for an afternoon of majestic waterfalls and breathtaking valley overlooks. Test your balance on a half-day SUP trip down the calm Chattahoochee River. The outdoor fun never ends when you book an adventure with Watershed Cabins and the Nantahala Outdoor Center.
