We might be a little biased, but we believe we have one of the best all around staff that exists! From check in to departure, every aspect of your adventure with Big Creek Expeditions is catered by amazing individuals that feel more like family than employees. For that, we are lucky. We hope you will come and visit us again for your next adventure!

There were 6 of us - me, my wife, our boys (22, 17 and 16), and our 10 year old girl. We rafted down the Pigeon River, upper (whitewater). It was terrific - not too intense (levels 3 and 4) but fast enough in spots to feel the thrill of whitewater rafting. Our guide Jeremy was great, guided us through the rapids flawlessly, very pleasant, knows the river well. Ask for him. We really enjoyed the journey, great way to spend an afternoon.
