History of rafting, river rafting
It is interesting to note that whitewater rafting, rafting, water rafting was one of the earliest forms of transportation. Rafting was not only used for carrying people but also for transferring goods from one place to another. However, river rafting, rafting, water rafting became quite popular as a form of leisure activity in the 1980s. This was also the case in Parys South Africa.

In 1811, the first recorded attempt to navigate the Snake River in Wyoming was planned by the Overland Astorians. While attempting to boat the stretch below Jackson Hole, the river was found to be too treacherous and it came to be called ?Mad River.?

The rubber river raft that is used for rafting, white water rafting, river rafting or water rafting is believed to have been invented in the early 1840s. It was first made by Lt. John Fremont, who was then serving in the U.S army and Horace H. Day. They invented the rubber raft with the intention of surveying the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. Although the raft was invented in the mid-nineteenth century, it was not until the turn of the century that the first ever commercial whitewater rafting river rafting trip was undertaken. At first, surplus military rafts were used as boats and it was only much later that inflatable raft was used for rafting, river rafting, white water rafting and water rafting.

Private companies played a major role in augmenting the rafting business. In 1956, one of the members of the most affluent business families of America, John D. Rockefeller built a resort that introduced one of the first floating trips in the country. However, it only evoked a lukewarm response. Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, exclusive whitewater rafting companies were formed to conduct river rafting, rafting, white water rafting and water rafting trips. These include the Becker-Cooke Expeditions, Hatch River Expeditions and Slickrock Adventures.

Rafting was first included in the Munich Olympic Games, 1972. Subsequently, it was included in the 1992 Barcelona Games and the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 1996, the Ocoee River in Tennessee Valley played host to the whitewater events of the Summer Olympic Games.
