RESERVE YOUR PIGEON RIVER RAFTING TRIP.
Rafting on the
UPPER SECTION OF THE PIGEON RIVER
is an exciting 2 hour whitewater rafting trip with continuous class III-IV rapids.
This fully guided trip is perfect for groups with beginners or intermediate paddlers.
Expect to be soaking wet and excited in the big rapids while our experienced guides
share with you an unforgettable memory for you all. There are chances to cool off
in the summer sun and float beside the boat in the calm stretches of the river.
Minimum age is 8 years old or 70 lbs. Suitable for beginners and non-swimmers.

Rafting on the
LOWER SECTION OF THE PIGEON RIVER
is a fun 2 hour rafting experience for those of you who aren't quite ready for big
whitewater but enjoy the outdoors. Children as young as 3 years old are welcomed
on this mild introductory whitewater trip. We'll have fun splashing and swimming
if you like or just relaxing in the boat. You will have a guide with you to make
your trip enjoyable while you relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your family
while being splashed by the small rapids. Perfect for non-swimmers and beginner
rafters. The Lower Pigeon meets and is scheduled at the same times as the Upper
to make it convenient for groups that have people with different desires of excitement.
Our
outpost
is conveniently located on the Pigeon River in Hartford TN bordering the Smokies.
We are the ending point for the Upper section of the Pigeon River and the beginning
point for the Lower section of the Pigeon River. We have many groups that raft both
sections—or split up their group so everyone rafts the section they want. We have trip times
scheduled simultaneously for groups that wish to meet at the same time, raft different sections, and
return within 15 minutes of each other.
After your trip, plan to change into dry clothes in our new changing rooms and restrooms,
right on the river. We have showers and changing rooms. Check out
our What to Wear page
for more details and pictures of our new changing rooms! We just finished making
our area more spacious and enjoyable for our guests in 2011.
Enjoy your day rafting with our friendly and entertaining guides and staff here
for you. All of guides are
trained and certified
in at least CPR and First Aid, and are here to show you and your group an exciting
and
SAFE
experience. Our goal is to be the highlight of your vacation! Let us share with
you rafting memories that will last forever.
