What To Wear On Your Whitewater Adventure

You Will Get WEt! Wear The Right Clothing To Be Comfortable

A common question we get from guests at Big Creek Expeditions is, "What should I wear for my river adventure?" We’re here to help! We always recommend wearing something you’re comfortable getting wet in. Many folks choose bathing suits, while others prefer shorts and t-shirts. Quick-dry materials are a fantastic option, and if you need anything, we have a nice selection available in our gift shop!


One important thing to remember is footwear—everyone needs to wear secure shoes. We don’t allow slides, flip-flops, or bare feet for safety reasons. Sneakers, water shoes, or sandals with a strap on the heel are perfect choices!


And rest assured, we provide all the necessary safety gear, including personal flotation devices and helmets. So come ready to have a great time on the water; we can't wait to see you!
