It’s Gorgeous
When the river is at natural flow, you get the opportunity to take in the beauty and majesty of the mountain landscape. During the summer season rafting is usually much more intense which keeps rafter’s focus on the rapids. When visiting in autumn, the whole family gets to relax and experience the nature of the Great Smoky Mountains.
It’s Much Less Crowded
No matter how you slice it, crowds during the summer can be a pain. It’s hard not to feel like sheep being herded from place to place. The long lines, the noise, the confusion — crowds can at times just be too much. There’s just something about experiencing the Gatlinburg, TN, area in fall and feeling the calmness that comes without the crowds.
The Weather Is Great
Summers in the South are HOT! For some, the heat and the sun can get to you after several hours outside. Not in the fall. During the natural flow season on the Pigeon River, the air feels wonderful, making it the perfect time for rafting near Gatlinburg for the entire family.
It’s Mellower
Although it is possible to experience class 3 & 4 rapids in the natural flow fall season, your trip overall will be less intense than in the summer months. The whole family gets to gaze upon the magnificence of the autumn season of the mountains. Few spectacles are as amazing as the beauty of the colors of the changing leaves. It’s a way of experiencing the Pigeon River in a whole new light.
