Row and splash into summer fun with one of three watery rafting trips to choose from in the Gatlinburg - Pigeon Forge area. Cool off in the summer heat by taking a raft down the Pigeon River or the Nantahala River. Whether you’re with your family or friends, you’ll love this exciting trip in Tennessee for your vacation.
Pigeon Forge Rafting Adventure
If you enjoy Pigeon Forge, this is the perfect getaway. Take your pick between either the lower or upper Pigeon Forge River and cast off! The exciting trip is full of splashes and small drops, so make sure you bring your swimsuit. The activity includes transport from the rafting check-in to your beginning point beside the river. Once you’ve completed the trip, try out some of the volleyball courts and picnic tables afterward to relax from your exciting time.
Next on your list is the Nantahala River Rafting Tour, which is a more relaxed tour focusing on the beautiful North Carolina scenery on both coastlines. The ride lasts about three and a half to four hours, and you’ll be able to enjoy the worn cliff sides and beautiful rock formations that your boat passes by. Once again, transportation is included to the site, and you’ll have all rafting equipment provided for you. Taste a delicious box lunch after your trip.
Nantahala River Tour and Scenic Train Ride
Finally, combine the fun of rafting with additional land scenery in this great excursion. Start your day off smooth with a pleasant train ride on the Smoky Mountain Railway, chugging through scenic trails down the mountainside. Once you’re to the bottom, you’ll take a short hike to the river, where you can get geared up for an exciting rafting trip lasting eight miles one way. Once you’ve reached your destination, you’ll be treated to a tasty buffet lunch and then raft back to your original starting point.
The summer adventures of the Gatlinburg - Pigeon Forge are the perfect way to cool off. Splash into the excitement early this August!
