Our river guide Stony was great! We laughed and had a lot of fun on the river. The rapids were bigger than I had done before and kept the trip interesting. Highly recommend you go through this company. They were great all around from the booking via the phone to the gal at checkin to the cashier to our guide. We loved our trip and look forward to going again next time we are in Tennessee.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience with Big Creek Expeditions and your guide, Stoney. We are incredibly lucky to have an all around amazing group of people on our staff--from reservations, to the office, to the guides and the bus drivers--we know we are lucky! We hope to have you back again soon.

We loved rafting the Upper Pigeon River. Very scenic being on the river. This trip had just enough rapids to keep it fun, but they weren’t too scary. We were on the river about 1 1/2 hours. I would definitely do this trip again. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. This trip is worth the money!
