Smoky Mountain Outdoors

Smoky Mountain Outdoors has a Gatlinburg office close to our Gatlinburg cabin rentals, Gatlinburg Falls Resort. For one of the area’s most professional and safe rafting experiences, choose Smoky Mountain Outdoors for your rafting adventure. The put-in for Smoky Mountain Outdoors’ trips is located in Hartford, TN, only 26 miles from Gatlinburg. The Pigeon River trips launch from the Carolina Power and Light put-in, which controls the water flow, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Smoky Mountain Outdoors is the only rafting company that rafts from April to October, and offers spray jackets and pants for those chilly mountain days. Employing around 50 guides and owning 65 boats, SMO has taken over 1000 people down the river in a single day!

You can choose between rafting the Upper Section or the Lower Section of the Pigeon River. On the adventurous Upper Section, in just 6 ½ miles, you will sail through about 70 rapids ranging from class 1 to class 4 during the 2 hour trip. On the scenic Lower Section, you’ll drift through about 50 class 1 and 2 rapids, and one class 3 rapid as a grand finale. The whole family will also have ample opportunity to engage in water fights and enjoy the scenery without losing your breath on the lower section. Smoky Mountain Outdoors ensures there is a professional guide, each trained as a first responder, in every boat, as well as an Emergency Medical Technician on every rafting trip. This rafting company also offers ThrillKats boats for those who want to get even closer to the river in your own personal boat or in a double boat.

For those of you on large family vacations, weddings, or corporate trips, Smoky Mountain Outdoors has a special offer for you while you are staying in our Gatlinburg cabin rentals or Pigeon Forge cabin rentals. If you get a group of 30 or more that wants to go whitewater rafting, Smoky Mountain Outdoors will send one of their red buses to give you a complimentary ride
