I went down the upper pigeon forge river with III and IV rapids. It was a lot of fun and lasted about 1.5 hours. Brandon was our guide and did a very good job. The rafting trip was also very scenic.

This was our families first experience at white water rafting and we loved it. We did the Upper Pigeon River through class 2,3 &4 rapids, our guide Alex was wonderful! She guided us through the rapids without losing anyone or flipping the raft which was a plus for me! I would highly recommend this adventure and Outdoor Adventures!

This was or families first trip to Tennessee and our only scheduled activity was rafting with Outdoor Adventures. Great atmosphere and price! Next time we will make a day of our rafting experience and do both sections. We rafted down the upper portion of the Pigeon River with beautiful scenery, great class 3 and 4 rapids and several spots of great fun learning to "surf the rapids"! The great staff at the post, to the great characters entertaining us on the short bus ride were only topped by our guide Chris Fortner! Professional, knowledgeable, entertaining and fun only partially descibe Chris. He had novice rafters working together and doing some impressive paddling in no time, which greatly enhanced our experience. From our 10 yr old daughter to our 14 yr old son, we all agreed this was the best thing we have done on our vacation so far. We will be back in the future and will absolutely use Outdoor Adventures again. Great family fun for all skill and age levels!
