Item Description

Rafting in the Smokies have been rafting experts since 1978, providing exciting thrills on the Pigeon River. They offer an adventure with their new Zipline Course. The item up for bid is a complimentary pass for 2, donated by Rafting in the Smokies, good for their Zipline Course.

With a ziplining course that’s over a mile long, you will get the best views of Family Adventure Island, the Pigeon River and flora and fauna that can only be seen in the Great Smoky Mountains.

After you receive your safety gear and instruction session with your personal Adventure guide, you’ll climb high in the air on our impressively constructed zipline tower. Get set for an adrenaline rush as you zip down the racing lines through the treetops. You’ll experience a total of 6 ziplines crossing 2 skybridges, for a total run of 2400 feet. Our staff photographer will take your picture, which is available for purchase.

Rafting in the Smokies has the longest operating season and the most amenities available on site. You will want to coordinate your Zipline Canopy Tour on the same day as your rafting trip. The Pigeon River is dam-controlled with scheduled water releases from Memorial Day through Labor Day on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday. (Occasionally due to rainfall, we are lucky enough to offer rafting trips on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays.) Reservations are required to ensure that you and your party secure the date and time of your choice.

If someone in your group needs a little more adventure, we can accommodate! Don’t forget about our Ropes Challenge Course! We can also help you plan whitewater and float trips.

Although surrounded by spectacular mountain wilderness, the Rafting in the Smokies Pigeon River Outpost is the most accessible outpost in East Tennessee!

Located only 45 minutes from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Knoxville, TN, and Asheville, NC. Make this river rafting trip your next family adventure!
