Pigeon River, Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge Group Rafting Nexstep Travel

THE BEST WHITE WATER RAFTING AT GATLINBURG & PIGEON FORGE!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER PIGEON RIVER SECTIONS?

The Pigeon River offers two exciting trips ranging from big splashy white water to a quiet float for the youngest first-timers. The popular Upper Pigeon is five miles of intermediate class III and class IV rapids – with views into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, making for a thrilling ride through drops like Powerhouse, Big Rock, Roller Coaster, Lost Guide and Double Reactionary.
The easy-going Lower Pigeon is the perfect trip for novices, for families with small children or those seeking a fun and relaxing river experience. This is a mellow 2.5 hour trip on class I and II white water, and has the lowest age restriction of any trip Wildwater runs – age 4!

SUMMER RAFTING ON THE PIGEON

Summer trips are scheduled 4 days a week, from Memorial Day thru Labor Day: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday plus Saturday.

EARLY SPRING & FALL RAFTING

There are no scheduled water releases in the Spring & Fall in the Tennessee Smokies on the Pigeon River. However, we often are able to raft on gorgeous fall days when seasonal rains have brought the levels up, or when the power companies need to release water for extra power generation. Water levels range from class I-II and sometimes we get class IV rapids! We usually don’t know levels until time of rafting – so call our reservations office for more information and reservations!

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR PIGEON TRIP

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains while visiting us in Hartford. The Wildwater facility offers a clean shower house, two cozy shops to browse through, and our very own Pigeon River Dog House where you can enjoy a delicious lunch or afternoon snack. We have two pavilions to enjoy a picnic lunch with your family. You can also enjoy a friendly game of volleyball or cornhole before or after your trip. All Pigeon River trips have a guide in every raft.

 

Call Nexstep Travel today for a free quote.   Group Rafting at it's best!     We work w/ our friends at Wildwater LTD.    ( info from Wildwater web site )

The Ocoee River, TN Group Rafting, Family , Boy Scouts,

The Ocoee River is nature’s premier roller-coaster ride, fun, fast & continuous (weekends only in the spring).  Ages 12 & up.

OCOEE WHITE WATER RAFTING IS OLYMPIC-SIZED FUN!

Tennessee’s Ocoee River is one of America’s most popular white water rivers for a reason. Thrill to the experience of consistent big class III and IV rapids, powered by warm water and reliable dam-released flows. We run fully-guided trips on both the Middle and Upper sections of the Ocoee river. An easy drive from Atlanta, Chattanooga or Knoxville, the Ocoee River is a day of whitewater rafting fun for your whole family or group!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UPPER AND MIDDLE OCOEE RIVER RAFTING SECTIONS?

We run two trips on the Ocoee, the celebrated Middle section, and the Upper. Both are half-day trips, with about two hours of river time. The Middle Ocoee is our most popular trip with 20 exhilarating class III and IV rapids in a five-mile stretch. The Upper Ocoee is available weekends mid-May through mid- September and features the challenging big water of the famed 1996 Olympic white water course. You can also combine both trips for a full day of thrilling Ocoee white water action.

 MIDDLE OCOEE RAFTING  

  • Trip Length: Approximately 3.5 hours (2 hours on the river)
  • Equipment Furnished: Raft, paddle, PFD, helmet and paddling jacket if needed
  • Season: Weekends in the Spring & Fall; Thursday through Monday in Summer
  • Wetsuits available for rent

The Middle Ocoee River is half a day of Tennessee white water rafting fun for individuals, families, and groups. Everyone, including Scouts and camps with teens, love this roller coaster stretch of river where your guide will steer you through an unbroken run of class III and IV rapids like Grumpy’s, Double Trouble and Table Saw. See a little history along the way with the last remaining wooden powerhouse water flume in the country. If you’re looking for a fun experience of blasting through big white water, the Middle Ocoee is the trip for you!

UPPER OCOEE RAFTING

  • Minimum Age: 12 years
  • Intensity Level: Exciting and challenging. No previous white water experience required be prepared for the the 1/2 mile of continuouse class 4 rapids in the Olympic Section.
  • Trip Length: Approximately 3 hours (1.5 hours on the river)
  • Equipment Furnished: Raft, paddle, PFD, helmet and paddling jacket if needed
  • Season: Weekends Mid May to Mid September

White water rafting on the Upper Ocoee River is more challenging than the Middle Ocoee section due to the big, powerful water of the 1996 Olympic course. While the beginning and ending sections of the trip are quiet enough that you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area, the river narrows through a steep set of rapids at the 1996 Olympic Kayak Slalom Course. Here you’ll drop through enormous rapids like Smileys, Slam Dunk, and the double-drop of Humongous. You’ll have a highly-trained guide in each raft, but boaters who take on the Upper Ocoee should be prepared to participate actively in their Ocoee white water rafting experience. A great trip for the adventurous paddler!
