White water rafting on the pigeon river was a great family activity that all 8 of us enjoyed! It's thrilling without being too scary. Stoney is a terrific adventure guide and we all had fun and were safe! The hour and a half tour is over before you know so be sure to enjoy every minute. This would be one of my top recommendations for a Smokey Mountain adventure.

My boyfriend and I went white water rafting for the first time here. They were super amazing. Our guide Stoney made it fun and exciting, all while making sure we were informed about the upcoming rapid and safe. I highly recommend Big Creek Expeditions and plan on coming back.

We are really lucky to have an amazing staff here at Big Creek Expeditions. On average, our guides have 10 years experience of whitewater raft guiding. Safety first, but we sure do know how to have a good time! Thanks for the shout out and recommendation. We hope to have you back again soon!
