We have been busy preparing for this rafting season with COVID-19 being at the height of our radar. When counting our blessings our raft company is quite fortunate in so many ways. We operate on the Tuckasegee River, a river where families can feel safe taking a self-guided raft trip, inflatable kayaks or tubes making social distancing possible. 

- Our vans & equipment will be disinfected between each guest. 

- Groups will not be mixed. You will be in your own raft with the group or family you came with. 

- Keys will be stored in individual plastic bags to limit exposure. 

- Our gift store will be limited entry. 

- We will open the season with self-guided or guide-assisted trips only. 

- Our staff will wear masks while driving shuttle & any time they are to be within 6-feet of guests. 

- Staff temperatures & symptoms will be monitored daily

- Windows will be open on the 8-minute shuttle ride.

- Groups will be spaced out when launching

- Reservations will be flexible 

- You may be asked to wait in your car to maintain NC phase 1, 10 person limit. 

- Hand sanitizer will be available for use at the check-in desk 

- Bathrooms will have increased cleaning throughout the day 

- We encourage guests to not pull over on beaches that are already occupied 

Please use caution:

Do not travel to our rafting company if you or a member of your party is ill, exhibiting symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 14 days.

Thank you for your patience with us as we wade through these unprecedented waters. 

All forward,

The Dillsboro River Company Family

Rafting and Tubing do have inherent risk and by participating you do assume this risk for you and the minors in your care.  DRC has an excellent safety record and works hard to minimize this risk.  Make sure you consult with your family doctor if you have any underlying medical conditions.
