​All American Big Cove Route:
Easily everyone's FAVORITE route and best value! We take you two miles up the Oconaluftee River and you float back to us and your car (no waiting on a bus to pick you up). This is a 2-3 hour float that winds through some amazing scenery and type I/II rapids as you float between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Cherokee Indian Reservation! It is all nature, with numerous swimming holes, rapids and beaches. Last departure for this route is 5pm daily.

STEP 1: Park at All American Floats (2093 Tsali Blvd., Cherokee, NC).
STEP 2: Check into the office, sign waiver, pay.

Ages / Restrictions
At All American, our number one concern is for the safety of you and your family. That being said, children 3 years old and younger are not able to float with us. It is simply not worth risking the safety of a small child to float the Oconaluftee River. We appreciate your understanding and value your safety over everything. For additional restrictions, please view our waiver.
