Smoky Mountain Outdoors rafting trips are for all
families of all ages and sizes. Smoky Mountain rafting
uses 8 person Self-Bailing Riken Rafts. These are 6
chamber boats with inflated floors so that no bailing is
required. Falling out is rare due to the design of the
rafts. Each boat consists of 1 guide and 6 or 7
passengers. The rapids in the U.S. are based on a scale
from 1 - 6. One being the easiest and six being the
roughest.
There are two different sections on the Pigeon Forge
River. On the lower level there is no experience needed.
It is a five and a half mile trip with 50 rapids all
class 1 and 2. There is one class three rapid along the
way. The upper section on the river is a six and a half
mile trip with roughly 70 rapids ranging anywhere from a
class 1 to class 4. Why you might consider
