Went on family vacation to Gatlinburg and trip was highly recommended. My 6, 9, and 10 year olds enjoyed their trip with Rev Dean.

My 6 year old granddaughter and I took the float trip while the older ones in our group went on the more adventurous river trip. Our guide, Nathan, was super and took good care of us. It was just the three of us, but we felt we were given the full treatment even though it was just the three of us in the raft! He was very congenial and pointed out some things along the way and answered all our questions. Great guide, great service, great time!

Jackson was our guide on the lower Pigeon River and we had so much fun, we booked the upper Pigeon River when we returned from the lower. All the employees at Great Smoky Outdoors were very helpful and patient in making sure we were able to do the upper Pigeon river right away and at the last minute. Jackson not only made us laugh a lot, but he explained the aspects of rowing to the teenagers, which was very helpful when we tried the more difficult upper Pigeon River. All 8 of us in the family loved it and made white-water rafting our new favorite hobby. Thank you Jackson - you rock!!!

Thank you for the great comments about your trips with Jackson. I'm glad to hear you got to experience both sections of the river and that the teenagers had fun learning the whitewater basics. Please come back to see us on your next visit to the Smokies, and feel free to request Jackson. See you on the river! Susan Spivey Outpost Manager Smoky Mountain Outdoors
