Upper pigeon river with Huey was awesome. He was a great guide and took us down all the best rapids. He’s a great entertaining guide that provides a lot of fun.

We had a great time on our whitewater rafting adventure. My wife and I along with my brother, his wife, and 2 boys took to the water with our guide Ernie (Erin). This was almost everyone’s first time and the trip was a good mix of action. Ernie prepared us well and made the trip fun!

Great white water rafting experience for those that have done it before and for those that have not. Our family has gone multiple times (e.g. Colorado, California, etc.) and we were not disappointed in this trip at all. Stoney was the best guide, hands-down. 6 or so other rafts from Big Creek went out at the same time we did and Stoney made sure we were the first boat out, and made sure we could take in different experiences along the normal adventure. He was not about checking boxes and moving families through - he was very much about making this the best experience for us. He was very relaxed, knowledgeable about rafting and the history of the river. Definitely would go back and seek him out again.
