We have a cabin on the Hiwassee, which is right below the Ocoee. Much easier to maneuver and safer if you are a beginner kayaker. Some great rapids, as well.

That might be better then. My kayaking experience is limited to flatwater and very mild rapids. Ideally I would like mostly class 2 with the occasional class 3 rapid. I wasn't really planning on using an inflatable kayak, but I'm open to it.

I've done the whitewater rafting guided trip before, on the Nantahala and on the Chatooga. It was cool, but I didn't feel like I had control of anything..I'd rather just do my own thing on the river for a few hours.

The Hiwassee looks pretty good.
