Our family of five had originally scheduled a trip down the lower Pigeon River (class I and II rapids) for a mild float trip. When we arrived at the rafting office, they encouraged us to take the upper river trip (class III and IV). Not being especially fond of water, I was somewhat hesitant, but the girl behind the counter... more

On the second Sunday in August (2009), my extended family gathered from a 600-mile radius in Gatlinburg to celebrate my 10 year old's birthday celebration. My son's only request was to go white water rafting, so I made reservations for 11 people with SMOKY MOUNTAIN OUTDOORS. I secretly reserved the trip for the Upper River (class III & IV rapids).... more

This is not the best river for rafting the rapids, and probably would not be much for experienced rafters. However, for a family or first timers this is a fun day. The trip is a couple of hours of fun with a several good but short rapids. There are a lot of organizers of trips in the area, and I... more

The guides are the best trained on the river. Along with they keep you safe and can entertain you along with the other guests. Great for taking younger kids as well. Either way if you are ready for an adventure, get wet, and enjoy an afternoon on the river this is the best place to go!!! -Mary more

Well - we were getting upset with being delayed almost 2 hours BUT... OH WOW - what a great trip and what great guides and people. We can't say enough about it. Some of the guides are ESL students from other countries and LOTS of fun to joke and clown with. They made this ride rock for all the different... more

We rafted the Upper Pigeon Forge on July 15th with Nora as our guide. We had an absolutely wonderful time on the trip. Safety was a concern and we were very pleased with the outstanding safety presentation by our guide. I would suggest taking one of the first trips during the day, prior to the river being crowded with other... more

Mary was our guide on August 6, 2009. What a delightful experience we had due to her personality and her skill. Not one member of my family of four had ever been white water rafting, but each of us REALLY enjoyed it. She played games with my 16 and 18 year old boys and let everyone swim during calm waters.... more

We really enjoyed our rafting trip with this company! We went on the Lower Pigeon, and it was a lot of fun, not scary at all, and now I want to go back for the Upper!! The rafting company was very organized, on time, and lots of fun. The tour guides were friendly and informative. They really tried to add... more
