What Floaters Say

Loved On The Little River

Perfect lazy afternoon on the Little River. The shuttle was on time, the tubes were in great shape, and the water was the perfect temperature. We'll be back every summer.

Casey R.
Knoxville, TN — Tube Float

First time kayaking and the crew set us up with the right boats and a quick paddling lesson before we launched. Never felt unsafe, just a beautiful float through the Smokies.

Marcus D.
Nashville, TN — Kayak Rental

Took our two kids (ages 7 and 10) on the family canoe route and it was the highlight of our trip to the mountains. Calm water, gorgeous scenery, and a very patient staff.
