Back to Nantahala Outdoor Center Better than ever 20yrs later The facilities and staff make this adventure our all-time favorite. My wife and I used NOC several times for white-water trips in 1988. We were finally able to return after a 20 yr absence and brought our 11 yr old son to experience this adventure. The facility has grown, but the customer service, knowledge, and abilities of their guides has stayed at the same high level. Our group had a tremendous time.

Great burgers and pizza and excellent choice of beer and wine. Great staff and view of the Nantahala River! There's a lot to see and do at the NOC; eat, drink, shop and catch the Great Smokey Mountain Railway right there...not to mention watching all the kayakers fighting the waters of the river! Heck, we might give it a try ourselves some time! They're also an outfitter!

We were laughing and joking, enjoying our time together, when a worker from the company tells us that we smell of alcohol and for our safety we shouldnt take the trip. I DONT DRINK!!!!!!
