Upper River Trip Schedules:

The Pigeon River is a dam controlled river, therefore we have guaranteed days from Mid-May to Mid-September determined by Progress Energy. However, we raft the upper section every day, even on non-guaranteed days-but the level of rapids and water conditions may vary. Guaranteed rafting days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday during season, and we offer trip times hourly between 11:00am through 5:00pm. However, on non-guaranteed days, we typically only offer the earlier trips.

Days with solid green background are guaranteed days, days with a green border are not guaranteed, but we are rafting! Click a date check availability and reserve a upper river trip now!

Spring is always a great time to raft because regular rainfall makes great whitewater!! Want to raft the upper section today or within the next couple days, but want to know what the water levels are like? Please call us at 866-333-7238 and we'll let you know the current river conditions, and honor our Internet pricing if you choose to reserve via phone!
