Tubing the Ocoee River with Bigfoot Outfitters

the thrills of upper ocoee river

When summer hits the South, there’s only one thing on our minds: cooling off, kicking back, and soaking in the natural beauty of the Ocoee River. And around here, nobody does it better than Bigfoot Outfitters.

Nestled in the heart of Tennessee’s river country, Bigfoot Outfitters offers an unbeatable way to experience the Ocoee River: tubing. It’s low-effort, high-reward fun — perfect for families, groups, or solo adventurers looking to unwind in the sunshine.

What Makes Tubing the Ocoee So Special?

Unlike the adrenaline-packed whitewater sections the Ocoee River is famous for, tubing with Bigfoot Outfitters takes you down the river’s more mellow stretches. Think gentle current, clear water, and the kind of peaceful scenery that makes you forget your phone even exists.

You’ll float past lush green trees, sun-warmed rocks, and maybe even spot a heron or two taking flight. It’s the ultimate unplugged experience — and you don’t need any special skills to enjoy it.

The Bigfoot Experience

At Bigfoot Outfitters, we’re not just about getting you on the water — we’re about making sure your day is legendary.

Here’s what to expect when you book a tubing trip with us:

  • Comfy, durable tubes (no cheap stuff here)

  • An expert guide will accompany you on your trip to ensure your safety

  • Friendly staff who’ll help you get set up and give you the local scoop

Whether you’re here for a lazy afternoon or planning a whole weekend adventure (psst: we’ve got cabins and RV sites, too), Bigfoot Outfitters is your home base for all things river.

Pro Tips for Tubing the Ocoee

  • Bring water shoes — the rocks can be slippery, and your feet will thank you.

  • Lather up — sunscreen is a must, even when it’s cloudy.

  • Strap your stuff — if it’s not waterproof or tied down, it’s river treasure waiting to happen.

  • Leave no trace — keep it clean and beautiful for the next explorer.

Make a Weekend of It

One of the best things about tubing with Bigfoot Outfitters? You don’t have to rush. Book a cozy cabin, RV site, or camping right on-site with river access, fire up the grill, and enjoy a starry night by the river after your float. Add in hiking trails, local eats, and a laid-back vibe, and you’ve got the recipe for the perfect Ocoee River weekend.
