We drove an hour to get to this white water rafting company because we wanted class IV Rapids. I do recommend this trip for families with older children as it is somewhat technical. Adam was our guide down the river that day and we could not have been happier. He told us about the river and the area and was extremely easy to paddle with. I recommend this center also because all the guides have more then 5 years of river experience most have over 10. Safety is their top priority while you have fun. Would run the upper pigeon Rapids again tomorrow. Thanks The Daniel Family.

We wanted to go tubing in Pigeon Forge but the water was much too low for that . The people at a River Rage recommended Big Creek to us for a water adventure. We chose the Scenic Float as we had never been white water rafting before . The trip was fun , very slow thru a lot of it which was expected by the name (float). The scenery was beautiful and our guide Chewy was great . We did hit some fun parts where the rapids hit a level 3 which was fun . We made it back to shore right before the storm hit 😳 it was a great time .

What a wonderful day with two of my three children, Christopher and Theresa white water rafting down big Pigeon River. Our guide, Paul, was amazing. We were very lucky to have him because he was just in town for the weekend. I would highly recommend this activity for any age.😀
