Planning all your adventures while visiting Gatlinburg has never been easier! Book all your ventures with Big Creek Expeditions with our combo packages and experience all the best outdoor activities the Smoky Mountains have to offer.

Choose a Full-Day River Adventure down the Pigeon River so you can enjoy the thrilling adventure of the Upper Section of the Pigeon River followed by the scenic float trip of the Lower Section of the Pigeon River. Once you arrive, you will begin your journey on the Upper Pigeon River. This section offers class III/IV rapids and is full of twists and turns, exhilarating rapids, and gorgeous views. The second portion of your adventure will continue after a break for lunch. We do not provide lunch, so we do recommend bringing a picnic or stopping by any of our delicious food trucks. Grab a spot by the river and enjoy a bite to eat before checking back in for the second portion of your trip. The Lower Pigeon River is a calm, scenic float where you can experience class II/III rapids, learn about the history of the river, and relax surrounded by breathtaking views.

If you’re the type of group looking for the biggest adrenaline rush the Smokies have to offer then the Splash and Zip package is the one for you! This package is easily customizable, and you can experience them all in one day or schedule a few days in between. First choose your river adventure by selecting our Upper Whitewater Raft or our Lower Scenic Float and visit us for a top-notch experience down the Pigeon River.

Continue fueling your adventurous spirit by combining the whitewater thrill with the adrenaline-pumping Legacy Mountain zipline tour in Sevierville. Legacy Mountain boasts 7 ziplines, spanning 400 acres of beautiful Smoky Mountain terrain with views of Mt. Leconte and The Pinnacle. Soar 400 feet above the treetops, flying up to 40 mph speeds with zips spanning 450 to 3,400 feet, making this one of the best ziplines in East, TN! Please keep in mind that if you book both adventures in one day, that there is a 1-hour drive between Sevierville and Hartford.

If immersing yourself in nature is more to your liking, then combine a river expedition with a historic horseback tour through a 70-acre park at the foot of the Smoky Mountains.  Our Paddle and Saddle package allows guests to experience some of the most loved adventures in the Smoky Mountains. After you’ve had your experience down the Pigeon River get ready for a horse-back riding experience like no other with Five Oaks Riding Stables. You will enjoy a 6-mile horseback ride through the foothills of the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The trails give spectacular views of Mt. Leconte, as well as mountain streams, wildlife, and a gorgeous spring-fed lake. Experience the history of the Appalachian people on horseback, riding on pioneer trails and seeing the remnants of a moonshine still. This package is excellent for couples looking for relaxing, quality time or for families looking to experience and bond over new adventures!
