We had an all day experience at Big Creek Expeditions! Some adults from our party rafted the upper Pigeon with Elton as our guide, he is well informed and very experienced, such a fun experience. In the afternoon the littles joined us and we floated the lower with Stony. Our boys are 7 and 9 and sat in front of the boat and had the best time ever. The boys loved Stony and said he is so nice. Great rafting experience and recommended.

Me and the family did the lower river rafting. My boys are 9 and 6. We had a fantastic time! Cant wait to go again. Erica was so great with my boys. Let them jump in and swim during calm periods and paddle when we werent needed to. The lower river rafting was necessary because my little one wasnt old enough for the upper river. It was perfect for a first time experience with minimal work.

Jordan was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the rivers in this area. He stopped and let the grandkids ( ages 6 and 12) get out and swim in the water two different times. The ages of our party ranged from 6 to 70 years old, and everyone had the best time. Our guide went out of his way to make sure everyone had an amazing time! We highly recommend Big Creek Expeditions to make your memories special!!
