Staff / Facilities / Equipment Wildwater invests consistently in the best equipment, staff, training, and Adventure Center facilities. We call it The Wildwater Way, and it’s why guests return with us year after year.
MEET WILDWATER’S FIRST FAMILY Jim and Jeanette Greiner founded Wildwater in 1971 on the Chattooga. They pioneered the first commercial rafting company in the Southeast. That same year Hollywood filmed the movie “Deliverance”, on the Chattooga. The 2nd and 3rd generation of Greiners pioneered the first canopy tours in the Southeast. Wildwater now runs unique aerial tours at every Adventure Center. Today’s exceptional soft-to-challenging adventures on land, water, and air – are designed exactly for YOU.
Guests Are Talking! “Simply The Best!” I’ve rafted the New, the Nolichucky, the Nantahala, the Ocoee, and the Chattooga several times. The Chattooga remains one of the most pristine, genuinely wild river experiences and Wildwater Adventures is the best outfitter by far.

Wildwater’s Quality Service Guarantee We stand behind your experience with Wildwater. If you are not satisfied with the service that you have received from us, we will make it right – guaranteed. THE RISKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF WHITEWATER RAFTING AND ZIPLINE CANOPY TOURS While Wildwater Ltd., Adventure America Zipline Canopy Tours, and the managing agencies set a minimum age or weight for trips, you must also evaluate your own fitness level. Participating in outdoor activities involves inherent risks, and can be physically demanding. All Guests go at their own risk, and are required to sign a liability waiver. Participants should be in good health, be comfortable in water if rafting, and be able to walk up grades or numerous stairs. You cannot go if you are pregnant. Alcohol ad illegal drugs are not allowed on or immediately prior to trips. We will remove you from the trip anyone under the influence of these substances, and no refund will be made. You will be assisting in paddling and carrying rafts and equipment if rafting, and must assist in controlling your speed if ziplining. If you are seriously overweight or have special medical conditions, you should consult your physician before rafting or ziplining.
July 2012 – TripAdvisor, Ellen H., Seneca SC “Best Zip Line and Rafting Experience” My husband and I went to Wildwater this week while on our honeymoon. We had a great experience. We did the zip line tour and went whitewater rafting. The price was fantastic for a young couple on a budget. This was by far our favorite activity we did all week, you must go there if you want to make the most of your trip to the Smoky Mountains. August 2012 – TripAdvisor, Brittany M., Canton, OH
