My father, my 5 year old son and I recently did the Lower Pigeon River rafting tour and we had a blast! Our guide, Aeron, was very knowledgable about the river - she constantly gave us fun facts and pointed out interesting sights and things along the way. Everything went smoothly and it was just a great family trip. I highly recommend this tour of the Pigeon and definitely ask for Aeron for a guide- she was great! :)

Everyone I spoke with from the time of making the reservation to the day of our arrival was very polite and professional. We had a group of 30+, adults, young children and teenagers. Each group enjoyed their experience guide! Special thanks to Hope, Birdman, Bo, Jeremy, and Santiago.

My mother (70), myself and my two boys (8 & 12) had a nice time rafting down the lower. It was very calm with about 2 rapids. I didnā€™t expect sitting and locking your feet in to be so uncomfortable though. Our guide was nice and had LOTS of energy. Itā€™s not something I would do again but a fun ā€œone timeā€ experience. We did buy a groupon and that process was easy. The total time on the river was an hour. They do charge $2 for a locker. There restroom and changing area was okay. The sanitizing process for the helmets and vests was gross. You dip both items in a tub of water. Yuck! That was my biggest complaint. Otherwise is was a good trip.

Thank you for the feedback on your trip, and I'm glad you had a good time despite the discomfort. It sounds like you have checked this one off your bucket list, but I do hope we see you again if you change your mind. Have a great summer, and thank you again. Sincerely! Susan Spivey Outpost Manager Smoky Mountain Outdoors
