My husband and I decided to take our kids white water rafting. I was really nervous about my four year old coming along. Our guide Stoney made us feel safe and adventurous at the same time. We really enjoyed our guide. He kept us laughing the entire time.

Thanks for the review, Debbie! We pride ourselves on having the best outpost on the Pigeon River, designed by our architect-turned-raft-guide owner, Jon and situated on a 17 acre riverside campground. Our staff truly loves what they do and Joan is no exception. Glad you felt safe in her competent hands. We hope to see you again soon and thank you for choosing Big Creek Expeditions!
