It was really hard to find a rafting experience where i could take my 4 years old. Found USA raft on the AAA site. The trip was exactly what it should have been. Everyone from the owner to the office manager through Ricky Bobby (yes, 2 first names) and finally Jeff our guide were perfect. The rafting itself is just... More

I had been wanting to go Whitewater Rafting for some time and with the cabin company I stay with they were giving a free admission with USA RAFT, so I thought no brainer. This company is awesome and very knowledgeable. My wife and I was put together with two other very nice couples and we were guided by IAN. Ian... More

Having lived in the relatively flat state of FL my whole life, the idea of intentionally placing myself in a rocky, raging river was tough to imagine. But we had a blast! The safety instructions were great, our guide (Jeff) was funny, knowledgeable, and safety conscious. We rode several Category III and IV rapids and loved every minute. Jeff knows... More

Had originally reserved a lower river float (wife was nervous about upper river white water rafting) but staff was able to to assist me and 16 yo daughter to ease her concerns and sign up for upper ride. She was glad we did. We felt very safe and Jeff was a good guide. After a thorough safety presentation and vest... More

Nolan our guide recommended that we take the smaller raft. Which we did for a nominal fee. It was worth every penny and then some. Because we got the smaller raft, my husband and I were able get a raft for just the two of us & Nolan. Nolan was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and gave a... More

AWESOME!!!! I just did this with 7 family members and it was a blast. I will most definitely do it again. You can ask for river guides. Make sure you ask for Boomer or John. They know the river, have a passion for rafting. It was so much fun. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. The scenery... More

We found USA Raft through River Rat Tubing in Townsend, TN. We were looking for a day of tubing and we were able to do both tubing and white water rafting for the same price! We had an early reservation for white water rafting but we accidentally went to the tubing place first. This was bad in that they are... More

Our family of four went rafting on 6/21. None of us had ever gone, and my daughter is very petite - so I was worried about her safety. It went great and we all had a fabulous time. The employees are really fun but at the same time safe. I am 54 years old and I was hooting and screaming... More

This was our firt time to ever go white water rafting and the family had a blast. The guides were all very thorough and made sure that you understood all of the safety precautions. After the safety review, they helped us all get the appropriate equipment (life vest, helmet and oar). The upper trip was a ton of fun and... More

This was the highlight of our trip! This was a great water rafting trip. The manager (Wayne) was very nice and helped us and answered any questions we had. Each and every guide had a sense of humor and was very nice and helpful. I would recommend the upper trip. And do the siding it is where you go upstream... More
