Make your next outdoor adventure one to remember by adding one of these amazing attractions in the Smoky Mountains to your travel itinerary. Whether you are looking for a grand adventure or a peaceful afternoon outside, we promise you will not be disappointed in these unbeatable options.
1. White Water Rafting
To kick off our list of thrilling outdoor attractions in the Smoky Mountains, we want to remind you how fun and exciting it is to take a trip down the Little Pigeon River during one of our Smoky Mountain whitewater rafting adventures. It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced rafter or if it is your first time on the water, we promise you and your loved ones will not be disappointed in this unique experience.
At Smoky Mountain Outdoors, we offer two separate white water rafting adventures for you and your family or group to choose from. Our lower trek is tailored to accommodate groups with younger children as the rapids are a little calmer during this trip and the ride is not quite as long. On the other hand, the upper river trip is designed for real thrill seekers as it hosts several Class III and Class IV rapids for you all to conquer.
