My 1st mistake was not reading the reviews. We opted for River Rage for the cheaper price as well as the "clean" restrooms, dressing rooms, & restaurant. Plus there would be go karts & bumper boats that the kids would love. Upon arrival the employee out front never spoke to our family much less welcomed us. I should have followed... More

I want to keep this short as possible but still get my message out. Simply put this is not safe for anyone!!! I went 2 years ago and I have not been the same since. I was with my husband and two small children and my tube flipped in rapids by the campground and I suffered serious injuries. I had... More

The river was low which is not the companies fault. The lower river was closed but the upper river was available to tube down. We specially asked if we would have to walk much and the girl at the counter kept telling us only the "first 100 feet, only the first 100 feet". I hate being lied to!!!! Thank god... More

River Rage Tubing in Townsend was just ok. Been to better ones though. The innertubes didn;t have a solid seat like some others and wasn't as sturdy. I guess that would be good if you wanted to stick your body through it though no one really wanted to. The price was the main draw and cheaper than most tubing places... More

All the people who work here are mean and nasty. We took our 3 little girls tubing. They put us on the wrong bus, and on the way to the river drop off the bus was in an accident! We had to get off the bus and wait in our swimsuits on the side of the road for an hour... More

We tubed on Friday, Sept. 2 The staff was accurate by "warning" us that the river and water was low. "If you see the same tree for 15 minutes, you need to start paddling." How about start walking - that's what we did. We actually walked through the water and on dry stones at the river's edge; at one point,... More

It was a warm day so I took my son tubing at river rage. My son feel off his tube and split his hand in half. I called the office right away gave them my location and asked them to call 911 for help. The young lady was very rude and told me she can send a van to pick... More

My friends and I went tubing with River Rage in July for the first time. It was after the rainy days, the river was a bit fast but we had been warned when we were signing up. It was amazing. Plenty of rapids, good company and lots of fun. That BBQ combo was the best! Today we went again and... More

This tube rental offered the best service, longest trip in a tube and a great experience all around! The landing where you get off the river is concrete and has a ledge, BIG PLUS (compared to the dirt hill that the others have). The trip route that this company gives you is the longest of the other companies and is... More

We were staying in pigeon forge for our anniversary and decided since it was so hot to try tubing. We looked up a few places and decided to go with River rage as it was most economical for us. We were told up front that they had been closed 2 days before because the water was so high, and that... More
