5 couples, 1 single, 11 people who enjoyed both trips down the Upper Pigeon River. If you sign up for a full day, don't take the upper and lower, take the upper twice. The upper is best in the afternoon, as the water level is more conducive to better white water. Ask Big Creek to sign you up to do the Upper twice! We had 6 in one raft, and 5 in the other, both trips down the river. Erika and Elton are the best guides we had, out of the 4. Big Creek was terrific, no reason to go anywhere else.

Thanks to Shane Greer and crew for a great time on the water. Equipment is top notch and safety is #1 with this group. We have made the upper trip a handful of times with BigCreek...no where else to go :)

We had a terrific time on our Whitewater trip. Our guide, Huey, was fantastic. He did a great job of not only guiding us down the river, but allowing us the opportunity to enjoy the scenery as we went. We were not rushing through the trip as it seemed many of the other tour companies were doing. Well worth the trip, great tour company.
