We were so fortunate to have Haley as our guide on the Lower Pigeon River. We opted for a nice family float with smaller rapids because it was all of ours first exerience rafting white water and especially due to the age of our youngest girls (5 & 7). Haley was absolutely great with the girls and said she had been a Nanny for a few years prior to guiding. It showed. She made the girls experience great. The only negative I have for the company is if you set a time and say that you don't need to be early, please keep to the schedule. ( We missed the Sallon Show at Dixie Stampede, partially due to traffic in PF) Trip set for 12:30 and we were just beginning orientation at 1:15 and on the river at around 2 or so. The raft trip was great, the staff was friendly and its a memory we will always cherish.

We had a great time taking our 8 year old WW rafting for the first time over the holiday weekend. Although it was a very busy day on the river (they set a new company record that day), it was still organized and efficient. Our guide Miles did a great job with the group safety talk, making it memorable enough that we would actually remember. This was our daughter's first time on white water, but Miles kept her safe in the back with him and let us enjoy the ride. Now she's been there, done that, AND got a cool t-shirt. This was our second trip with Big Creek, and we'll be back again! I would highly recommend them to anyone going down the Pigeon River.
