USA Raft Adventure Resort
The Southeast's Premier Adventure Destination
Closed for 2026:Helene Recovery
On September 27, 2024 the Nolichucky River rose more than twice as high as any time in the previous 100 years devastating much of the southern Appalachian landscape including our beautiful riverside property at the mouth of the Nolichucky Gorge near Erwin, TN, USA.
Over a year later our access road is finally passable and we are able to begin rebuilding in earnest.
USA Raft will not be running any Adventure Trips this 2026 Season. Please seek out other Nolichucky River Outfitters which may be operating later this season when the US Forest Service reopens the Gorge to commercial river trips.
The river is open to Private Boaters. Access and shuttle resources can be found via your prefered WWW Search Engine.
Lodging, camping, river access parking, and food and bar service may return this Fall depending on progress. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with developments.
Volunteer Days
April 11 & 18, 2026 starting each day at 9:00am with lunch followed by a cookout at 5:30pm.
