went on a trip with my sister and cousins to TN and white water rafting was on our to do list. We enjoyed doing lots of activities but I must say this was the highlight of our trip. We had a blast. My cousins and I did the upper part of the river and Erin was our guide and did an excellent job. The younger kids did the lower part of the river. would love to go back on the fall and enjoy the foliage as well. I recommend purchasing the CD so you can watch your pictures when you get home.

Since planning our Family Vacation to the Smoky Mountains we knew we wanted to go White Water Rafting and looked around at our many options, but the video they showed on Big Creeks website is what did it in for us. The staff seemed awesome, and they were! We took the Lower River ride with the kids and my husband and I needed more so we decided to do the Upper River the next day. Our guide Marcus was awesome and took us through some great parts of the rapids! Will definitely visit next time we are there! Thanks, The Campos Family

My husband and I went white water rafting for the first time with our four kids, ranging in age from 5 to 14. We rafted the lower river with CHRIS as our guide. CHRIS made the whole experience so much fun. He interacted well with the kids and was funny and informative. It was the best experience of our vacation and we cannot wait to go back!
