HYDRO SUMMARY | ||||

HYDRO is GTD's white water adventure. HYDRO is gushing with God-awesome water excitement that will drench your heart and saturate your soul with pure H20 thrills! In our time together we plan to embark on several fantastic water adventures that may include activities such as white water rafting, waterfall slides, cliff jumping, bridge jumping and amazing swimming holes.
And it wouldn't be a complete adventure if we just explored the creation without also exploring the Creator. We will enjoy God's majesty through daily devotions and nightly Bible studies. This trip will refresh your life as you grow closer to God, make new friends, and experience a river run that you will never forget! So don't delay, take the HYDRO plunge today! |

WHITE WATER RAFTING INFO | |
|
Ocoee River - Middle & Upper Sections
(Rated one of the top ten rivers in the US!)
The Ocoee River is one of the most popular whitewater rivers in the nation. No other river in the East offers the degree of challenge and consistent water flow that is found here. In fact, the Ocoee has been rated one of the ten best whitewater rivers in the country by Canoe Magazine. It has been chosen as the site of national whitewater championships on several occasions as well as home of the 1996 Olympic Whitewater competition. The Ocoee River is dam-controlled, so even in the driest months the water levels stay constant. You’ll not only enjoy the thrill and excitement of America's favorite and most popular whitewater adventure, but you'll also enjoy a trip through the beautiful and dramatic Ocoee Gorge in the Cherokee National Forest. The Ocoee River offers two different sections of the river, the Upper Section and the Middle Section.
The Upper Section: Are you ready to take on the waters of the World Class Olympic Whitewater Course? The Upper Section runs only 34 days out of the year, but when this section is running, it gives you almost 5 miles of cascading Class III & IV rapids and pristine whitewater wilderness. The Upper Section was the site of the 1996 Olympic Whitewater. The Middle Section: This section will thrill you from launch to takeout. You'll feel the excitement as you enter a non-stop journey with over 20 continuous Class III and IV Rapids that drops an exhilarating 260 feet from start to finish.
TOTAL TRIP LENGTH: 4 Hrs (both sections combined)
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Class III-IV; Intermediate+ (There is NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY)
MINIMUM AGE: 12
REQUIREMENTS: Fully enclosed shoes / watershoes or sandals with an ankle strap | |
