Families with small children can still enjoy a river adventure with NOC. Take a fun float trip on the Lower Pigeon River or the Lower Nolichucky River. These float trips are open to kids as young as 3, with no upper age limit! Your river guide will lead you through mild Class I-II rapids, and there will be plenty of time for floating, splashing and swimming as you descend easy, scenic sections of the river. As a perfect primer to whitewater, float trips include everything you'll need to enjoy your time outside, including gear, transportation, a guide and equipment.
