    Rafting is so much fun! Please remember to remind everyone to keep a hold of their T grip! Catching one of those in the mouth hurts like a you know what!

    I'm so sorry I missed you guys but we did this same rafting with the same company while we were there over the 4th of July week. And it was so daggone fun! We got the big boat because we had 6. The water felt fine until the swimming hole and I jumped over and lost my breath cuz so cold and then she said get back in the boat. I thought I was gonna die. I'm out of breath and then had to swim to the boat. My niece hauled me out of the water, legs sprawled everywhere. It was hilarious! The water was so fast that day. Great video! Highly recommend Rafting in The Smokies!

    I love going white water rafting with Rafting in the Smokies!! They have some of the best river guides ever!! Last year we had Doug (if I am remembering correctly). He was from Florida and he was awesome!! I can't wait for my next trip back.

      They have a calmer run available as well. Suitable for those that might not want the bigger rapids. Should give it a shot linda! Thanks as always!

      We just used the clip attachment with the GoPro to hook it on a helmet provided by the outfitter. We also have head and chest straps that do the same. Thanks for watching.
