Abstract:

Started in 1972, the Nantahala Outdoor Center near Bryson City is a nationally known center for beginners and experts who enjoy white-water canoeing, rafting, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. By the end of the first year, 800 people had gone down the Nantahala River, and by 2008, that many go down the river in a single day. The center provides thrilling excursions on four state rivers.
