Thunder
River
The
Saluda River produces some of the best whitewater in the southeast when levels
exceed their normal flow. With over six miles of gradient roaring through
Columbia, you can’t pass up the adventure waiting for you only minutes from
downtown--Nothing gets the heart thumping harder than a beautiful view and
thunderous whitewater with waves approaching six feet. Many alternate rapid-runs
are possible, so be sure to let your guide know how wet you and your friends
want to get! There’s no doubt: Columbia is home of the best Southern Fried
Whitewater around!

thunderous whitewater rapids that will get your blood pumping. The
deafening crush of waves can approach 6 feet or more in size! This run takes
about two hours and is worth every action-packed minute. The Thunder River Run
will appeal to the adventure seeker looking for their next adrenaline fix.

Booking
a trip is easy--Email us
or give us a call. Also, check out our MySpace site, which we update frequently
to notify you when whitewater is present; or check out our website calendar
which is also updated daily. We tend to fill up quickly when the water is
high and fast, so call us to book your whitewater adventure today!
*Important*:All trips are at the mercy of outflow from SCE&G's
hydroelectric plant located 10 miles upstream Therefore trips are
subject to change, but with our river tracking methods and SCE&G's
public service announcements, the level can be determined 2-3 days before
a trip date. With upcoming improved communication from SCE&G,
water releases could be forecast up to a month in advance.
