Whitewater Carnage on the Nantahala River

Had a great weekend at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, or NOC near Bryson City in western North Carolina. The end of the lower Nantahala is home to Lesser Wesser Falls, where a lot of newbies get their first whitewater swim! Come and enjoy the carnage! Kayakers! Rafters! SUP boarders!

I was a whitewater kayak instructor for the BSA on this water. My life was changed and I changed lives, and saved some

Thanks for sharing. I remember going there years ago with a church group and we had an amazing time. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Not nearly enough carnage in this video. Although the guy surfing, the raft was pretty amazing.
