Closest rafting to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Family fun for children as young as 3! This trip is an amazing outdoor experience on the 5.5-mile Lower Pigeon Rafting Trip. Great for young children or those looking for more of a float trip.

Being from southeast Louisiana we donāt have much of beautiful scenery like they do eastern Tennessee. Family was there for a baseball tournament and my daughter and I were there for vacation. Heard great things about water rafting and we gave it shot... A MEMORY that our family will have for ever! Bart our guide was awesome and cool jokes and what an awesome job to have..being out doors and doing what you love to do man talk about living life! Jumping in the river was great and we were NOT expecting that feature! Over all worth every penny! Wish we bought the picturesā¹ļø Great job guys and we cant wait to visit yāall again! #teambigeasy

Great trip. It lasted about 90 minutes and had a good mix of rapids. Our kids 9 and 6 loved it and we all had fun. The only down side was we were told to arrive 45 minutes early for no reason. Overall, great experience and something we would do again.
