First time out, had a blast. Brennan was our guide, he is AWESOME, both funny and informative. Put two skeptical teenagers at ease. Will definitely be going back.

My group had the greatest time rafting the upper pigeon river. This was in no small part due to our rafting guide, Reverend Dean the Dunking Machine! He made the trip super enjoyable with his humor, knowledge and expertise. He got us safely down the river while also making it possible for us to hit the rapids as hard as we could. This was my first rafting experience and it turned me into an addict! I wish I could take The Rev with me next time I go rafting. You have to go experience the Upper Pigeon River Rafting Tour and you have to request Reverend Dean!
