We had a great time rafting and our guide, Shane, was awesome! Everyone at the outpost was very friendly. We would definitely go rafting again with Big Creek!

Our favorite attraction during our stay in Tennessee. Huey, our river guide knew the river well and shared local fun facts. It was our first time rafting and my 13 year old daughter was scared but Huey kept a close eye on her during the bigger rapids and continued to lead all of us too! We all had the BEST time and cannot wait time come back! Everyone at Big Creek Expedition was friendly and helpful.
