Mom-Approved Whitewater Rafting on the Tuckasegee River
Welcome to Dillsboro River Company. We provide family-friendly whitewater rafting on the Tuckasegee River, just outside of Dillsboro, Sylva, and Bryson City, North Carolina. The Tuckasegee is the ideal river for first-time rafters, families with young children (minimum age limit is 4), and those who want more of a relaxing river trip with warmer water and the milder Class I & II rapids.
Big Group? Save time! Print your waivers & bring in completed!
Our Location and Amenities
Dillsboro River Company is located directly by the riverside on the Tuckasegee, in the town of Dillsboro, North Carolina.
The check-in desk, changing rooms / bathrooms and parking lot are all within yards of our easy and private access to the river. Our take-out is located 5.5 miles downstream, and also has bathrooms. The shuttle back to the put-in takes about 8 minutes.
The Dillsboro River Company store is a beautiful barn style cabin overlooking the Tuck. We carry everything you will need to have a great trip down the river, such as sunscreen (complimentary), water/soda ($1-2 a bottle), river shoes ($9.95 / pair), and snacks (range from .75 to $5).
Your safety is important to us. Please refrain from bringing any drugs or alcohol onto our property (this includes both rentals and shuttles). We have a zero tolerance policy. If you choose to bring bags or coolers on your river adventure, we reserve the right to search the contents.
