Touch the Earth WHITEWATER Whitewater has been the lifeblood of Touch the Earth for many years. We continue celebrating the founders of TTE with a wide array of excellent watersport trips. Join 30+ year veterans of the program as they guide you down some of the cleanest and most scenic waters in the country. Choose your weapon: Kayak, Canoe, Raft! Most of our trips require good swimming ability with the exception of raft trips, and require no experience except for whitewater canoe/kayak trips. Some trips require permission to register.
Fly Fishing
Hang Gliding
This is a thorough introduction to the popular sport of beginner fly fishing. We will travel to North Georgia for hands on instruction in fly casting, fishing strategies, knot tying, and an introduction to insects, tools and techniques. GA fishing license with Trout Stamp required. Advanced trip for any graduate or previously experienced flyfisherman.
Yeah, that’s right. TTE is making use of the hot summer days to catch the “winds aloft.” With a pilot, you’ll leap off a 2,000 ft. mountain into elegant, silent flight and surf the air.
