NOLI Intro to Whitewater Canoeing - Full Day

NOLI Intro to Whitewater Canoeing - Jul 26, Lower Nolichucky River, Erwin, TN

For most of us canoeing conjures up images of relaxing days spent on lazy rivers - which we readily admit is great! But do you know that canoeing whitewater is a ton of fun and, with the right instruction, you may find yourself having the thrill of a lifetime and leave having been bit by the whitewater canoeing bug? This one-day introductory course led by NOLI instructor Viki Austin allows you to do just that! Held on the Lower Nolichucky River in Northeast Tennessee, participants will first be introduced to boats, equipment and safety considerations and will be properly outfitted to a canoe, life jacket (PFD), paddle and helmet. We will then take it to the water to practice the fundamentals, strokes and river maneuvers that will help you safely enjoy a mild whitewater river trip on the class I-II section of the Nolichucky. No experience required and all equipment provided. Age 10+. All instructors carry professional certification through the ACA. Cost is $175.
