What an AMAZING trip we had, Thwre was 4 of us in the raft and our guide Mo was incredible!! She was extreamly knowledgeable about not only the raft but the river as well. She walked us through the entire trip and made us all feel extreamly comfortable with what we were doing. I would recommend her to all guests who go there. Thank you again MO. We had a great trip.

Great place for a day of fun on the river. Fantastic ammenities, restrooms, gift shops, secure lockers, photo ops, covered picnic area and now food carts on site. The guides all know the river well and help everyone enjoy a thrilling and safe experience down the river. FUN, FUN, FUN and worth every penny for the trip. Cant wait to go back. Just reserve well in advance as this company is the most demanded and well organized in the Smokies.

Great Trip! Took 2 hours start to finish, and Guide Dean made it thrilling! A few Class 4 Rapids, and lots of Class 2 and 3's! Traveled with my 9 and 13 yr daughters and we felt very safe, as well as entertained! Dean described each rapid before we were in them, and during the few quite times entertained us with the history of the river and a few corny jokes! You start at the store, take a 10 min bus ride to the spot where you get onto the river, and end up back at the store. No wet bus ride back to your vehicle! PFD's, helmets and paddles provided. Equipment all in good, working condition.
