Lower, Upper, and full-day combo trips on the Pigeon River in Hartford, Tennessee.
A gentle, splash-filled introduction to whitewater — perfect for first-timers, families with kids, and anyone who'd rather laugh than hold their breath. The Lower Pigeon rolls through mild Class I and II rapids with Smoky Mountain views the whole way down.
This is the one you'll be talking about for years. The Upper Pigeon drops through Class III and IV whitewater — Powerhouse, Double Reaction, Razorblade, and the famous Lost Guide — with names that sound as wild as the rapids feel.
Whether you're booking a team-building day for 12 colleagues or a family reunion for 200 of your nearest and dearest, we'll customize the trip, the food, and the vibe so it actually feels like yours.
From corporate retreats and family reunions to bachelor parties and church youth groups — we handle the logistics, the gear, the guides, and the riverside lunch. You just show up with people who want to have a good time.
No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. Every rafting trip with Rapid Expeditions comes with everything you need for a safe, splashy day on the Pigeon.
Every raft is led by a Swiftwater Rescue-certified guide who's paddled the Pigeon hundreds of times — and genuinely loves sharing it with first-timers and old hands alike.
Coast-Guard-approved PFD, helmet, and wetsuit on Upper & Combo trips — all included. We've got you covered. You bring the smile and the willingness to get wet.
Combo & group trips include a riverside lunch — sandwiches, sides, drinks, and the kind of break that makes the next rapid feel even better when you push off.
Whitewater trips run on scheduled dam-release days when the Pigeon comes alive. Here's what to expect, how the pricing breaks down, and how to lock in your spot.
Trips run March through October on scheduled release days. Reserve online or give us a ring — we're happy to help you pick the right section for your group.
