The trip was cancelled no warning. Drove 450 miles for nothing. Water was low they should have know before we traveled so far.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We genuinely apologize for what happened with your trip. Unfortunately, as is stated on our website, after Labor Day we do not have any control of when they release water from the dam, so we have no guarantee on our trips after that weekend. Our office manager did call the number on your reservation ending in 3875 as well as sent an email regarding the cancellation of the trip. We would love a chance to further discuss the situation with you in hopes to show you that what you experienced is not typical with our company. If you would like to reach out to our office manager, Debora, at 423-721-0695 she would be more than happy to try and rectify the situation. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to hearing from you.

Everyone enjoyed the scenic float. Very kid friendly and the guides were great! At the end there was an opportunity for the older kids to jump off and do some swimming which they very much enjoyed !

Johnny B was a great guide! Our church youth group had a blast floating down the river. They even got out of the rafts and swam a bit! So much fun!
