RIVER INFORMATION
The Pigeon's close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge provides an accessible exciting trip for the family. Five miles of Class II and III rapids provide a fun, fast-paced whitewater run through rapids named Powerhouse, Big Rock, Roller Coaster, Lost Guide and Cubbie Checker.

The Pigeon is an ideal half-day trip for novices, families, and youth groups. A dam-controlled river, the Pigeon provides action-packed fun throughout the summer.

The Pigeon River Rafting Center phone number is (423) 487-3307.

FACTS
Minimum Age: 8 years or 80 lbs.
Intensity Level Exciting, but not strenuous. No previous whitewater experience needed.
Trip Length: Approximately 2 1/2 hours (1 1/2 on river)
Equipment Furnished: Raft, paddle, life jacket, helmet, and paddling jacket if needed.
Transportation Provided: To and from the river from our Rafting Center in Hartford, TN.
Facilities: Changing Rooms and Showers. No towels or soap provided.

Guests are expected to check in at our front desk approximately twenty to thirty minutes before the trip meeting time. This will allow you plenty of time to sign in and change.

The trip begins with a lesson on paddling techniques and safety procedures by one of your guides. After distribution of paddling gear and transportation to the river, guests and guides then carry all gear, rafts and equipment down a short trail to the water. Your trip gets under way immediately as you and your guide negotiate the Powerhouse Rapid.

Most of the time will be spent paddling whitewater, but there are also opportunities to catch your breath, swim, and drift with the current. All trips go, rain or shine.
