Guided Sea Kayak Trips on the Ocoee

Kayak instructions or Guided Sea Kayak trips on Ocoee #3. Fun for all ages

If whitewater kayaking isn’t really your thing, join us for a beautiful exploration of Ocoee Lake #3 in our super stable touring kayaks. These kayaks allow even the most inexperienced kayakers to paddle and navigate a kayak on their own like a professional kayaker.

At Big Frog, we want our guests to be relaxed but enthralled with the stunning beauty and surroundings of Southeast Tennessee. Because Ocoee Lake # 3 is off the beaten path, you can plan on a quiet but amazing experience as you paddle your kayak around this lake. Don’t be surprise when you see deer on the edge of the water, a beaver swimming across, a bald eagle flying overhead or maybe even an elusive bear.

Regardless of your experience, this trip suits all skill levels…all you really need is a desire to “Get Outside”. We do require at least 4 people to run a trip. If you have a large group and need us to tailor a trip, please don’t hesitate to contact our reservations specialists for additional information.

Kayak and Canoe Rentals

Kayaks and canoes provide a cool and refreshing way to have fun and relax on a hot summer day on the Toccoa River. you can also rent canoes or "funyaks" which are inflatable one person or two person boats.

The Toccoa River is a dam-controlled river and TVA releases water daily. Water levels and speed can change significantly after water is released. At low water, the river is shallower and slower. At high water, the river rises 2 to 3 feet and picks up speed considerably. We offer a 1.5 mile or 6- mile trip for canoes and kayaks.

Water release is controlled by TVA and subject to change without notice. TVA does not make the water release times available to us ahead of time so we are unable to be more specific regarding how long it will take you to get down the river.

The depth of the water changes from place to place in the river and there may be small rapids and rocks along the way. This trip is suitable for most people who can swim but there is risk associated with all water related activities and you will be required to sign a waiver of liability prior to beginning your river trip.

People paddling in canoes, funyaks and kayaks usually get down the river faster than those people floating on inner tubes. It all depends on you.

Children must be at least 5 years of age to engage in any activity on the Toccoa River. Rolling Thunder will provide life jackets and children must keep them securely fastened at all times while on the river. There are no life guards or safety personnel on the river so parents are responsible for their children. Be sure to wear shoes which fit securely to your feet - no flip flops.

Bus shuttles run all day on operating days. We shuttle you up the river and you float back down to our tubing center where you left your car. Reservations are not necessary for inner tubes unless you have a group of 15 or more people.
