This was our 2nd time booking a "daycation" with the River Rat. We had a wonderful rafting experience with Anna. Our family of 4 (kids 11 & 14) had a blast on the upper river. Anna made our trip really enjoyable and fun. She was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the river. Lunch was also yummy! The management staff was also extremely nice and helpful. Thank you River Rat for making our trip one to remember!

This was my 14 yr old daughter’s and my first experience Whitewater Rafting. The river was so cool and refreshing. The rapids were fun and challenging throughout. Our guide, Anna, made us feel safe and informed the whole way. BTW—she’s awesome, Anna is a raft guide AND works to fight fires out west. This girl dad was happy to have my daughter get to meet her. Overall, It was a ton of fun and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to add in some fun and excitement in the Smokies. Bonus—Amazing views along the Foothills Parkway from Sevierville/Pigeon Forge.
