This is a first class company, I have rafted with them all over the last 40 years and was a raft guide in the 80's. They have excellent rafts and equipment and confident guides.

Everyone with this company, are great, friendly, patient, and they want to make sure you and your group have a great experience. The Nolichucky and the area around it are beautiful. The staff made our experience wonderful. Whitewater rafting is fun, give it a try with these downhome people, you won't regret it.Thank you all for making our experience so much fun.Your Kentucky Friends

We had an absolutely wonderful rafting experience! We came with our youth camp, and this was honestly the best rafting experience we’ve ever had — and we go rafting every year!All of the guides were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. Every instruction was clear, and they made our whole group feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire trip.The outpost is really nice and well organized. We also had lunch right on the river, which made the experience even more special, and the sandwiches were delicious! We really appreciated the photography as well. The photographer followed our group along the river, and every boat was captured, so we were able to get so many amazing pictures and memories from the day.Overall, it was just a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Our entire youth group loved it, and we would absolutely come back again. 100% recommend! May God bless your business, your guides, and everyone who works so hard to create such an amazing experience for others!

Four friends and I rafted with BRP last Friday, and from start to finish our experience was fantastic. When we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff, who informed us our adventure was guaranteed to be "epic." It had been a very rainy past few weeks, and the Nolichucky was flowing at almost the highest allowed rate for commercial river running.The adventure lived up to this guarantee—and then some. Though the riverbanks were battered severely by Helene, the debris has been largely cleaned up (an incredible feat), and the gorge itself is just as majestic as it's always been. There is no development apart from a few campsites, so as you float through the gorge, you really feel like you're deep in the wilderness.And then there's the whitewater! When we floated, the rapids topped out at Class 3+ and even some Class 4s, so it was an adrenaline-filled ride from start to finish. In one of the calmer sections, we were able to jump out and swim for a few minutes.In addition to our amazing guide in our raft, Willard, we were accompanied by two other staff members in individual kayaks. This meant they could scope out the rapids in advance and provide immediate feedback to the guides in the rafts, take pictures, and, if necessary, provide safety backup. Considering there were only three other boats running from BRP that morning, that meant there were a total of 5 staff on the river for 9 people. I'm pretty sure none of the other outfitters that day had even one other staffer in a kayak, much less two. This really reaffirmed the company's dedication to safety and fun. (Then again, I got the impression the two staff members on kayaks love paddling so much they were more than happy to be on the river.)Once the trip was over, we relaxed at the comfy homebase/lodge to have a beer and look at photos from our trip, then took a detour into the cool little town of Erwin for a great lunch. An epic day indeed!
