This section of the Chattahoochee has been described as “Wild as the Colorado and Warm as Costa Rica.” There are so many things to do after your raft trip, such as: biking on 15 miles of Riverwalk, visit Columbus’ Coca-Cola Space Science Center, The National Infantry Museum, and Oxbow Meadows.

This course consists of over 12 rapids ranging from Class II-V. It is one of the most exciting whitewater rafting rivers in the US!
For a comparison of volume, the rapids on the Ocoee River generally flow at ~1,250 cubic feet per second in volume, while the rapids at the Chattahoochee can reach up to 13,000 cubic feet per second in volume. This makes these rapids the largest south of Canada and east of the Mississippi!

With heavy hearts we say goodbye to one of our favorite river dogs, Spartacus. Spart was a pioneer! As the first dog to raft the whitewater section of the Chattahoochee River, he paved the way for many of his canine buddies! Any time he would jump into moving water, he could be seen swimming with almost perfect angles into the nearest eddy where he'd wait for Adam to pick him up. We hate to see you go, but we'll always remember this big goofy smile and your love for the outdoors! If you have pictures of your canine companion in the great outdoors post them below in Spart's memory! #ripspartacus #riverdog #firstdogdescent #columbusgawhitewater Columbus GA Whitewater Uptown Columbus Whitewater Alabama Visit Phenix City NRS Ruffwear Performance Dog Gear Adam Sanders
