Family of 6 with the youngest being 9 years old, this was our first time ever rafting. Our guide was Blake and he was very knowledgeable and super nice. The whole experience from check in to the end was very organized and pleasurable. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you for the great comments about your rafting trip with Blake. The Pigeon River is a great river for first-timers, and our guides love sharing their love of whitewater and the area. Please come back and see us on your next trip to the Smokies, and thank you again! Have a great summer! Susan Spivey Outpost Manager Smoky Mountain Outdoors

For the first time ever going white water rafting I had an amazing experience! It was so much fun getting soaked and riding down the river, however, what really made this experience the best was our guide, Ziggy. Ziggy was such a leader, had a great sense of humor, and was extremely knowledgeable in regard to rafting. Ziggy was also very familiar with the history and activities of the area which was also quite nice. If you are able to get on a rafting trip with Ziggy you are truly in for a great experience. I look forward to coming back!

We had an amazing time. The rafting trip was perfect for my family, most of us having never rafted before. The whole experience was very well organized from our arrival to the end. Our guide, Hunter, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and gave us some suggestions for hiking at the National Park. We would do this again, for sure!
