Appalachian ATV Adventures is a permittee of the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia and the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina, and works cooperatively with several other professional outfitters to provide outstanding recreational opportunities including ATV riding, white water rafting, horseback riding, river tubing, and flatwater paddling in double canoes or open kayaks on pristine mountain lakes.

Travel deep inside our National Forests without the stress of hiking

A comprehensive safety training session makes our tours suitable for novice riders as well as people with walking difficulties. Riders at least 5'2" tall and weighing at least 100 lbs will most comfortably fit our equipment. Having raingear handy is always a good idea when you're in a rainforest. Bring a camera to capture all the beauty and the fun.

It's a beautiful Fall day in the mountains...
as your scenic shuttle winds its way towards the trail head...
where the road ends and the adventure begins.
