Shopping at Rafting in the Smokies River Outpost

THE Place for Smoky Mountain Souvenirs 

At the Rafting in the Smokies Pigeon River Outpost in Hartford, we have a retail store full of outdoor accessories, apparel, and even necessities that you might need for your rafting or float trip or enjoying the National Park in general.

If you’ve forgotten anything behind, have no worries because it’s likely that Megan will be able to help you find exactly what you need at the outpost store.  Generally open daily from 9 a.m. until all guests are finished rafting, here is just a small selection of what you’ll find:

For Your Whitewater Rafting Trip:  swim trunks, eyeglass straps/retainers, water shoes, beach towels, sunscreen, and disposable cameras.

Rafting Souvenirs:  “river map” bandanas, paddle keychains, car window decals, hats and caps, t-shirts for all ages and sizes, Girl and Boy Scout badges, and so much more.

After you raft, zipline, or conquer the ropes course, plan to spend the rest of your day at our free Family Adventure Island.  There are picnic tables and grills, corn hole, walking trail, playground and even more for the entire family.  Hunger will not get the best of you because at the outpost, you can also get some great food!

Step up to the “RITS,” our snack bar, and get your made-to-order sandwiches, drinks and snacks.   For only $2, there are Grilled Cheese and Grilled Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches, and for a little more you can choose a Cheeseburger, Quesadilla, fresh wraps, etc.  It’s great food and great prices!

So, come on out to Hartford for a great time on the Pigeon River, a good sandwich or two, and the best Smoky Mountains souvenirs you can buy—those that commemorate your whitewater Rafting in the Smokies experience!
