OUR COMMUNITY

Raft Logo

River Rat has been a staple in the Smoky Mountains since 1995. Our community is an integral part of who we are.

Every decision we make stems from three core values:

Safety ~ Environment ~ Community

We are grateful to support our neighbors, and to help preserve and protect the natural environment that provides our adventures.

DONATE & MATCH INITIATIVE

We provide visitors with the opportunity to support our community with our pledge to match their donations!
