Read our guide to rafting on the Pigeon River near Gatlinburg. Find outfitters, rates and things you need to know for your rafting trip.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For whitewater rafting near Gatlinburg, the Pigeon River is the place to go. The area around Hartford, TN, 45 minutes from Gatlinburg, has a number of excellent whitewater outfitters running 1 1\/2 to 2 hour tours down the river (See below for a list of top outfitters). Depending on your taste, your trip can be an thrilling whitewater experience, or just a nice day on the water with the kids.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_400\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-400\" src=\"\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pigeonriver09.jpg\" alt=\"image courtesy NOC.com\" width=\"440\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pigeonriver09.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pigeonriver09-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">image courtesy NOC.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Pigeon River is a dam-controlled river running parallel to I-40, northeast of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Since the water flows from the bottom of a lake, that means it\u2019s cool even on the hottest summer days.<\/p>\n<p>You have a choice of trips on either the Upper or Lower Pigeon River. The Upper Pigeon River is a true whitewater rafting experience and real rollercoaster ride with Class 3-4 rapids (If you\u2019re not quite sure what Class 4 rapids looks like, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/Adventures\/events\/22859891\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">click here and scroll down<\/a> to see photos).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great fun, but not suitable for children younger than 8 years of age. And you will definitely get wet, no matter which part of the raft you sit in. Trips run from 5 to 6 1\/2 miles, depending on the outfitter you choose.<\/p>\n<p>For families with small children or people seeking a nice day on the river without the adrenaline rush, the Lower Pigeon River is the better choice for rafting. Trips here run about 5 to 5 1\/2 miles and feature some gentle Class 1-2 rapids. The trip is scenic, and there are plenty of opportunities to go swimming.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of which trip you take, no whitewater rafting experience is necessary. You\u2019ll be traveling down river with an experienced guide steering your raft.<\/p>\n<p>Whitewater rafting in the Smoky Mountains is mostly a summertime activity. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the dam releases water on the Pigeon River every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, which means you should have a good ride with plenty of whitewater. During the rest of the year, water release is unscheduled, so call ahead and confirm that it\u2019s a good day for a trip or check the water gauge here.<\/p>\n<p>Trips take 1 1\/2 to 2 hours. Plus you\u2019ll want to budget time to drive to your rafting outfitter.<\/p>\n<h3>Top Whitewater Rafting Outfitters<\/h3>\n<p>Here are four of the best-known outfitters running whitewater tours in the area.<\/p>\n<p>BE SURE you know where the trip starts. Some outfitters, like the Nantahala Outdoor Center, have ticket offices in Gatlinburg. But your trip actually starts in Hartford, TN, 45 minutes outside of town.<\/p>\n<p>Check your outfitter\u2019s web site for directions. Don\u2019t trust your GPS to find the right spot!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smoky Mountain Outdoors<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-399 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/SmokyMtnOutdoors-300x131.jpg\" alt=\"SmokyMtnOutdoors\" width=\"300\" height=\"131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/SmokyMtnOutdoors-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/SmokyMtnOutdoors.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n3299 Hartford Rd.<br \/>\nHartford, TN 37753<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smokymountainrafting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.smokymountainrafting.com<br \/>\n<\/a>(866) 861-9192<br \/>\nOn both the Upper Pigeon River and the Lower Pigeon River.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alert alert-success\"><strong>Get a Free Rafting Trip at Smoky Mountain Outdoors, plus over $700 in other coupons when you book a cabin!
