My family and I had a wonderful experience rafting the lower section of the Pigeon with Big Creek Expeditions. The lower was well suited for my young kids (10, 7, 6) with enough action to keep their excitement up the whole trip! The courteous and professional staff made everything a pleasure and the facilities at Big Creek top anything I've experienced at similar sites. Looking forward to a return visit to raft the upper when the kids get a little older!

We had an awesome time with our guide Steve. The kids paddled some and then swam some. The scenery was unbelievable. Definitely a must do.

At the sign-up we were advised that the tour upgrade for Class II and III would give more thrills. That will come with our return visit. The Lower Pigeon was scenic and provided a couple of nice swims outside the raft.
