Spring Rafting Trip through the Great Smoky Mountains

Spring Rafting Trip through the Great Smoky Mountains

Overview

Spring is a beautiful time in The Great Smoky Mountains. The vegetation returns, the buds bloom in the Smoky Mountains, and there’s no better way to experience the view than rafting down the mighty Upper Pigeon River.
Between Labor Day and Memorial Day we are no longer guaranteed dam release on the Pigeon River. This doesn’t mean we do not raft the river, it just means that we are rafting at natural river flows which can be unpredictable. You may discover the rush and excitement of class 3 and 4 rapids or you may enjoy a serene, peaceful scenic trip while rafting between the Great Smoky Mountains and Cherokee national forest. Just ask our staff what the river looks like that day, and we’ll let you know.

They are the best, especially if you have a kid below 10 years who can’t swim and a first timer. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We love taking first time rafters and being able to share in their first whitewater experience! It’s the best part of our passion we get to call a job. Thank you for choosing us and trusting us with your family, it’s a honor!

If you are looking for a rafting company in Tennessee, look no further. This was my second time with Rip Roaring and it was once again great. Easy check in, knowledge staff and easy parking. The guides (we had one guide and 2 guides I'm training) we friendly, helpful and funny. The river trip was a blast as well. My friend who has never been before said it was "lit".

Awesome! It’s so fantastic to know you returned to raft with us. As a small business repeat guests are a big part of us. Thank you so much again for trusting us with your smoky mountain rafting trip!

From start to finish, this trip was amazing!!! Booking was easy and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. My daughter was apprehensive and, after going, said that it was the best part of our vacation. Sheeley (I'm sure that I'm not spelling that right) was an amazing guide and was very aware of our comfort level. He did a fantastic job of navigating the river and making the trip a wonderful experience! There are other places, but this place is seriously the best...friendly, family owned, and genuinely appreciative of their patrons.

Wow Jennifer! Thank you so much for taking your time to leave us such a lovely review. I’m so happy to know that your family had a great rafting trip. It’s always so humbling and exciting to hear we were the most loved activity on your smoky mountains vacation. Shealy is a amazing guide and we are so blessed to have him! Being able to put that smile on your daughters face is a feeling like no other, thank you for choosing us and we hope to see you again in the future!
