1. Upper River Rafting

Get ready for a wild ride when you venture on our Upper River Rafting trip! Available from March through October, the Upper River Rafting trip is one of our most popular trips. With the help of our experienced guides, raft down the Pigeon River with your friends and family for an unforgettable experience! From March through mid-May, water levels are unpredictable, which means you never know exactly what fun is in store on your trip! Beginning in mid-May, you can experience class 3 and 4 rapids along the 6.5 mile trip. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, try our Extreme Upper River Rafting trip starting in mid-May, which features a smaller raft, making the rapids feel even bigger!

2. Lower Pigeon River Rafting

For families with younger children, try our Lower Pigeon River Rafting trip. Available May through September, the Lower Pigeon River Rafting trip offers a more relaxing ride down the river that everyone can enjoy. Bring the kids along and let them experience their first white water rafting adventure! This calmer ride also allows you to take in the scenic views of the mountains as you float down the Pigeon River. This rafting trip is great for ages 3 and up, and the kids will even have the chance to splash around in the river!! If you have smaller children or just want a more peaceful rafting experience, the Lower Pigeon River Rafting trip is for you!

3. Combo Packages
