HIGH COUNTRY ADVENTURES has been a leading outdoor adventure company since 1975, when four friends with a shared love for the outdoors decided to create a full-service outdoor store in Atlanta, GA. Bubba Sloan, Gerald Marshall, Denny May, and Ned Buxton founded High Country Adventures to provide outdoor enthusiasts with the gear, knowledge, and expertise they need to explore the great outdoors with confidence.

Forty years later, High Country Adventures is still going strong, managed by two of the original founders, Bubba Sloan and Gerald Marshall. Bubba Sloan can be found at our Buckhead retail store in Atlanta, GA, while Gerald Marshall oversees our outpost in Ocoee, Tennessee, introducing visitors to the best whitewater rafting experiences in the Southeast.

High Country Adventures is committed to providing the best gear, outdoor excursions, and customer service in the industry. Our knowledgeable staff are passionate about the outdoors and are dedicated to helping customers experience the perfect adventure. We believe in forming lifelong relationships with our customers and are committed to providing exceptional service every step of the way.

Whitewater rafting has been a cornerstone of High Country Adventures since the beginning. We fell in love with the Ocoee River in 1975 when we used it to teach advanced whitewater kayak clinics, and in 1979, we built our rafting outpost on the banks of the Ocoee River at the Hwy 64 Bridge. What started with 6 boats, 6 guides, and 1 bus driver, is now our thriving outpost that hosts close to 20,000 visitors a year.

Whether you're a seasoned whitewater rafter or a beginner looking to try something new, High Country Adventures has something for everyone. Our cabins and campgrounds offer a comfortable and convenient place to stay while you explore the great outdoors. We invite you to come and experience the thrill of whitewater rafting or any of our other exciting activities, and see why High Country Adventures has been a leader in the outdoor adventure industry for over four decades.

We can't wait to welcome you to the Ocoee River and share our passion for the outdoors with you.
