Angela was our guide and she was awesome! She made sure we hit each rapid just right to give us great thrills while keeping us all in the boat. Other rafting companies passed us up in a hurry, but River Rat allows you to take your time and enjoy the peace and beauty between the rapids as well. Thanks, Angela!

The trip was a blast. We did it twice in a row which a can’t recommend enough. Matt was our guide on both trips. He was fun exciting and hilarious. Request him if you can.

Such an amazing experience for our families! Ages ranged 9-40 and Rein was perfect with everyone. He not only allowed us to feel comfortable (first time for whitewater rafting for all of us) but was continuously engaged throughout the trip. He taught us some new things about rafting but also had a wealth of knowledge to share about the area’s history (we had a teacher and kids that love history on board). We have done tubing with River Rat a couple of times and now whitewater rafting. They are a great company, safety conscious, but willing to give you the best possible experience. We will continue to use them on our trips to TN.
