The scenery is unbeatable, the hiking is world class and the people who live here are as friendly as they come.

You’ll love splashing through the rapids and soaking in the scenery in a whole new way, and no Smoky Mountain vacation can be considered complete without it!
1. You’ll Experience Something New and Exciting
Vacations are meant to be laid back and relaxing, but they’re also designed to let you have brand new, exciting experiences!

For the most exciting ride offered, you’ll want to check out Upper Pigeon River Extreme. This small raft experience is perfect for adrenaline junkies and the ultimate thrill seekers among you!
