We lucked out and had the best guide on the Pigeon River! Dean tailored our run perfectly for what we wanted. We chose to be adventurous and he delivered! Our group had a blast! (Ages 71, 48, 46, 44, 42, 16 and 14) Dean is knowledgeable, funny and highly skilled. We would recommend him highly and will request him by name when we go back.

Very organized, qualified guides who love being there, and the trip always different depending on the river. Ian was great! Watched a guide save a person who tried on their on to swim across and could not make it back across.he spotted him on some rocks and knew he needed help. Put him in raft and took him to takeout. 2nd trip with this company and will return again.
