If you choose your rafting company and esthetics matter to you, then you wont like this company. HOWEVER, if you overlook its "hippie" appearance and the fact that the facilities aren't very nice then you will have a great time. My husband and I are first time rafters, and we went on a day that the waters were extremely rough.... More

The Pigeon River is one of my favorite spots. It is just a relaxing place to be. The mountain water is crystal clear, and breath taking.

This is a great river flowing through the County. Wherever you go through Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg you can see the river. Great for fishing, tubing and photography.

Rip Roaring Adventures give you a great trip. Well trained staff! Rusty was my raft guide and he was very knowledgeable of the area and the places to ride horses, eat food and hike/camp.

There is a wonderful walking trail next to the river and it is a very pleasant stroll for about a mile or so. Benches, lights and shady trees make it a pretty area to walk or sit and visit with family or friends.

Any place where you stop by the Pigeon River is peaceful. The streams are beautiful especially from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge.

I love mountain streams, but comparing the river in Pigeon Forge to other rivers in the area. It loses. It has to contend with buildings, trash, traffic, etc. If you want a beautiful, serene stretch of river to enjoy yourself at, then go a few miles a stop at any number of much better locations.
