Rails to Rafts

Now available for those persons wishing to combine a train ride with Ocoee River whitewater rafting!  

Rails to Rafts passengers will detrain in Ducktown before arriving in Copperhill and will therefore miss the layover in that town. On the other hand, they'll be enjoying an approx. one-hour rafting trip on a portion of the world-class Ocoee River's famous whitewater!  Note that Rails to Rafts is offered on  "Copperhill" dates only through September (not Loop.)

Lunch will be provided to these participants as well as a place to shower and change into dry clothes. Transportation to and from the train is included as well.

Cost

Ticket price is $90 for everyone over the age of 12.

Groups

Special rates available for groups of 25 or more, and charter trips can be arranged for groups of 80 or more. Contact the TVRM office for information.
