Whitewater Raft through the Great Smoky Mountains

Add some adventure to your Smoky Mountain vacation with a whitewater rafting trip on the Pigeon River – conveniently located near Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Asheville, and Maggie Valley.

Raft the Upper Pigeon for a full dose of excitement as you splash your way through more than a dozen Class III and IV rapids, including Accelerator, Roller Coaster, and Lost Guide. If gentle rapids and swimming holes are more your speed, float the Lower Pigeon – ideal for families and groups with young children.
