My wife and I did the all day Cumberland River float with a large family reunion group (6 rafts) in June 2011. The river was very high, almost in flood stage from recent rains. The water was chocolate brown and the falls themselves were a huge torrent, completely unrecognizable as the pretty falls you see in the pictures. I was... More

I have been rafting on the river with Sheltowee for several trips. This summer I went with some family members that had never been rafting. The trip, as usual, was terrific. The staff at Sheltowee are a great group that makes the day fun and memorable. I will continue to book my raft trips with Sheltowee as long as I... More

Everyone seemed to be saftey orientated, staff offered support thru out the adventure, equipment was top notch, and offered a terrific first white water experience. I would recommend this trip and the Shetowee trace outfitters group to anyone looking for a great adventure. More

My family and I have made two trips with Sheltowee, and I hope to make many more. The scenery is beautiful. The trip is well-organized, and all the guides were experienced and friendly. I would recommend this experience to anyone who likes the water and the outdoors. More

We thoroughly enjoyed the raft trip for a 2nd year in a row. The people are very knowledgeable, from the owner (Rick) to the guides and support staff. Everyone goes beyond the "call of duty" to ensure and exciting, fun-filled, safe experience. One that will be treasured for years to come. We also appreciated the guides extra effort in inspiring...

Thank you so much for your positive review! We love to hear that people had a great time on our river. As a parent myself, I was extremely pleased to hear that your children were 'inspired' with the nature facts and history that your guide presented. Although not every group is interested in such information, it brings a smile to... More

We went to Sheltowee about three weeks ago and it was so wonderful, we're going back this week. Everyone was just as sweet as can be. The owner's (Rick) disposition also made me feel comfortable as he treated us like one of his own. He reminded me of my grandfather, whom I miss very much. Our guide (RJ) was a... More

Our trip was on the Cumberland River, below the Falls. I had zero experience whitewater rafting prior to this trip, so I was completely terrified. They are very safety oriented and went over safety instructions multiple times. The guide (Matt) was extremely tolerant of my fears. Was told the river was at a somewhat lower water level than other times... More

We went in June, when the water was at an average level. I took my seven year old son and 68-year old mother, and this trip was perfect. There was a well-paced amount of white water on the first half of the trip (the second half is all day water and your raft is towed while everyone relaxes, or has... More

My friends and I go on a 3 day canoe trip every year and have done so for the past 6 years we have been to several rivers in Tennessee, West Virginia and Arkansas. The Big South Fork was the best by far. It was the most beautiful river I have ever canoed. The massive boulders along the clean banks... More

The day was beautiful; the river was high so there were some solid rapids, but the staffing was off. The owner is a crank-- rude and offensive. Our interactions with him left a sour taste in my mouth all day. The guides were lax and sometimes seemed undisciplined which left me ill at ease. More
