If you plan on taking a rafting trip down the Pigeon River, you have got to go with Big Creek Expeditions. This group is the best! I have taken my youth group down this river 3 times now and used Big Creek twice. The one time we chose another group, I knew it was a mistake time we got on the bus. I will never use anyone but, BIG CREEK. Booking the trip was so easy, I just called Debora and she took care of everything. Our guide, JOEY was absolutely Awesome, He made the entire trip enjoyable. He jumped to the rescue when one of our men feel out the raft in the middle of the largest rapid. He help get him back into the raft quickly and safely. He was a pleasure to be with and hope he is still there next time we go rafting. Way to go BIG CREEK, keep up the good work!

This river outfitter is one of the nicest we have been to. We all agreed from the professional seasoned staff that put our minds at ease. Gramma (not a swimmer) and momma (is deaf). We were bringing on the challenge. Erica was awesome!! She was so good to our family of 5. They let us take our own go pro and off we went. Got some amazing footage. Fun afternoon!! The other outfitters looked overcrowded and disorganized. Really was a perfect day!
