]]>The lush green mountains, rushing rivers, and majestic waterfalls make for an idyllic travel destination that only gets better during the summer.
One of our favorite activities to do whenever we visit the Smoky Mountains as a sports and adventure lover is whitewater rafting.
So, what is this activity? Whitewater rafting consists of an inflatable raft which is filled with a group of people, including a guide, which goes down a challenging stretch of river which can be filled with rocks, rapids, and unexpected drops!
A heart-racing adventure, the type of river needed for this type of activity exists throughout the Smoky Mountains region. From the Pigeon River in Tennessee to the French Broad River in North Carolina, you will find plenty of outfitters which offer up trips led by professional guides and with all the material you’ll need included.
If you want to get your pulse racing with a group of friends or family on your next trip to the Smokies in the beauty of this area’s nature, you can’t go wrong with a whitewater rafting trip. Give it a try!

Protected as part of the United States National Park System, the Smokies (as they are colloquially called) are an idyllic mountain retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city.
The third-tallest mountain in the eastern United States, Clingmans Dome, is part of the park. Visitors can see a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.
@particularlydangeroussituationOpportunities for recreation abound in the park. Many people choose to go hiking to precious viewpoints such as Chimney Tops.
The park also has plenty to offer for those who love water. There are multiple waterfalls to which visitors can hike, and it’s even possible to go tubing or whitewater rafting down one of its rivers.
One of the most well-known rivers for rafting is the Pigeon River, which gives visitors a thrilling ride down a mountain river.
If you’re looking for an accessible, beautiful place to visit, look no further than the Smokies.
