Rafting on the "Deliverance" River

Interested in whitewater rafting?  Although the Chattooga isn't the first river to have commercial rafting operations (see Green River, CO), it does have the aura of the ultimate rafting trip because of the influence of the movie "Deliverance."

Click here for more information about rafting down the Chattooga River, which starts in North Carolina and runs along the Georgia-South Carolina border.

See also the following New York Times article "Riding the Rapids on "Deliverance" River,"  which provides a background on how the 1972 Academy-award nominated film introduced millions of Americans to this stunning stretch of river.
