We were hesitant to go on the upper pigeon forge trip since we have an 8 and 10 year old but it was totally worth it! Even with the weather being less then optimal (raining and flooding), we had a blast! Steve was our tour guide and made us feel very safe. Don’t let rain stop you from taking this trip, you will get soaked either way!

This was our 2nd trip down the river with Big Creek Expeditions. Dylan was our guide and did a fantastic job. All the guides are professional and fun. This is a can't miss activity for everyone 6-86. At 60 I had as much, if not more, fun as my 24 year olds. If you like the front seat of a roller coaster-gotta try for thr front seat of the raft! Outstanding company.
