Stonie, our guide was just amazing!
Knowledgeable, super entertaining, and kept us engaged the entire time. He provided lots of interesting facts about the river and its surroundings. This was our first time and we will definitely be back! Thanks!!

We loved our rafting trip down the Pigeon River!! We’re a family of 5, with kids ages 12,9, and 8 and this was the highlight of our trip down from Minnesota! We had a great time with Stoney too!

I'd give you 5 stars , but the ride was shorter and not as ruff as I expected .. The Grand kids loved it and that's all that counts.. Thank you ...
