Q&A

Q: What age is recommended for the Upper Pigeon Rafting Adventure?

A: The minimum age for the Upper Pigeon Rafting Adventure is typically around 8 years old, but it can vary slightly depending on the specific conditions of the river that day. Kids younger than 12 should be accompanied by an adult. Just check with the provider when you book, as they can give you the most accurate info.

Q: What should we wear for the Upper Pigeon rafting trip?

A: Definitely wear a swimsuit or quick-dry clothing since you’ll get splashed a lot! Also, water shoes or sandals with straps are a good idea to keep your feet protected. I’d recommend bringing a light jacket too, just in case it gets chilly on the water.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on my scheduled rafting day?

A: If the weather looks rough, the rafting company will typically let you know in advance about any cancellations. They’ll work with you to reschedule your trip, or in some cases, you may get a refund. Just keep an eye on the weather as your day approaches!

Just went rafting on the Upper Pigeon River - Amazing!

I just got back from the Upper Pigeon Rafting Adventure, and wow, what a rush! The rapids were intense (class IV!), but our guide was super helpful. The scenery was straight out of a postcard with the Smoky Mountains all around us. Don’t miss the swimming holes too—perfect for a quick dip during breaks! Can’t recommend it enough for thrill-seekers!

Considering gifting the Upper Pigeon Rafting Adventure

I'm thinking of gifting this rafting experience to my boyfriend for his birthday. Has anyone done it? Is it suitable for beginners? Just want to make sure it'll be a fun day and not too overwhelming for him!
