Water Recreation

Kayaking, Funyaks, Tubing and SUP Boarding 

Looking for a more relaxing adventure on the Noli, we got you covered! Although the Nolichucky River is synonymous with whitewater rafting, it’s not the only kind of adventure you can find. Whether you are looking for a cool relaxing float, or an exhilarating rush, kayaking, funyaks, tubing and SUP boarding are popular Noli activities. Thrill seekers of all ages and skill levels can find adventure on the Nolichucky River. Several of our whitewater outfitters offer instruction and equipment for these activities. 

Swimming Pools

Just wanting to hang out by the pool and relax – we’ve got a few different options to fit the style you are looking for. Beat the summer heat at Fishery Park Pool, a large outdoor pool with diving boards and staffed lifeguards. Want a little more rustic feel, visit Rock Creek Park Pool, a creek-fed swimming “hole”, or perhaps you want to swim some laps inside in a heated Olympic-size swimming pool, then visit the Unicoi County Family YMCA.
