Open Saturday AND Sunday - Save $13 PER PERSON

Join Big Creek Expeditions for one final summer adventure this Labor Day weekend! We’re open Saturday and Sunday, giving you the perfect opportunity to make the most of your long weekend with an unforgettable whitewater rafting experience.


Explore the Pigeon River like never before with two distinct adventures:


Upper Pigeon River: This section is packed with thrilling rapids and plenty of excitement for adrenaline seekers. Guided by experienced professionals, you’ll tackle Class III rapids, splash through waves, and enjoy breathtaking Smoky Mountain views along the way. Perfect for those looking for an action-filled trip!

Lower Pigeon River: Prefer a more laid-back journey? The Lower Pigeon River offers gentle rapids and scenic floats, ideal for families with younger children or anyone seeking a relaxing river experience. Enjoy the beauty of the riverbanks and the peaceful sounds of nature at a comfortable pace.

Full Day Combo: Want the best of both worlds? Our full day combo lets you conquer the entire river—start on the calm, relaxing Lower section, break for a riverside lunch, and then get redy for the adrenaline-pumping Upper River portion. It’s the ultimate way to experience everything the Pigeon River has to offer in a single, epic day!

In addition to rafting, elevate your adventure with our exclusive combo packages:

  • Legacy Mountain Ziplines: Soar above the treetops and take in panoramic mountain vistas on this exhilarating zipline course.
