Our trips combine breathtaking scenery with white water rafting thrills to create an unforgettable experience in the Smokies! Each of our rafting trips take place on the Pigeon River, and during rafting season, you can choose from a wild ride on the upper portion of the river or a more relaxing journey along the lower portion of the river. If you are searching for some extreme thrills, you can sign up for our Extreme Upper River Rafting Trip, which features a smaller boat adventure surfing all our favorite waves! If you want to plan your rafting trip in March or April, you can enjoy one of our Natural Flow trips.
2. Close to Downtown Gatlinburg
The rafting outpost for Smoky Mountain Outdoors is conveniently located in Hartford, TN, which is just a short drive for folks on vacation in Gatlinburg!

However, the white water rafting excursions at Smoky Mountain Outdoors are perfect for anyone ages 3 and older. This means that your entire family can experience the excitement of rafting together! If you have children at least 3 years old, they can go on our Lower Pigeon River Trip, which is one of the best things to do in the Smokies for little kids! Your children will love splashing around and gently floating down the river! Since our Upper Pigeon River Trip features larger rapids and drops, the minimum age and weight requirement for this trip is 8 years old or 70 pounds.
