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.

We were a family of 9 on the lower rapids in the beginner stage w/ rapids we had ages 10 to 72 in the boat with us and we had the best time ever. This is a family company and they really told us about the place made us feel safe and educated us on what to do, aince we were 1st timers and all. Thank you for this amazing experience this was way better than Dollywood theme park. We will do the rapids next time we visit. . . maybe we will try a level higher now :). Thank you, DeWitt Family

Taking first time rafters is always exciting for our staff as we love to show the river to our guests. We look forward to seeing you all again!
