What To Wear for River Rafting...

Definitely prepare to get wet!

In the summer, wear a bathing suit, swimming trunks, or comfortable clothes to get wet.

Always wear proper footwear. Tennis shoes, water shoes, or sandals with a secure heel strap. NO flip flops!

In the Spring and Fall, temperatures may be chilly. We rent wetsuits. Also, always limit wearing cotton. Cotton will keep you cooler. Wool, polyester, and fleece will keep you warm.

Dress for comfort and bring dry clothes for after your trip!

Rafting Trips...

The UPPER PIGEON is an exciting 2 hour whitewater trip with continuous class III-IV rapids. This fully guided trip is perfect for groups with beginners or intermediate paddlers. Minimum age is 8 years old or 70 lbs.

The LOWER PIGEON is a fun 2 hour rafting experience for people 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.

The RUSSELL FORK in Eastern Kentucky is in the Breaks Interstate Park and offers rafting trips to a variety of experience levels. The Upper and Lower sections are great for first timers. The gorge section is for the adrenaline seekers who already have class IV-V whitewater experience and want the ride everyone talks about. The best whitewater on the east coast is on the Russell Fork Gorge!
