River Romp, Sevierville, TN - Recreation

If you are looking for some fun in the water, and would like to relax at the same time, then you should go to River Romp in Sevierville, TN. Here you can take a slow and relaxing float down the river - away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

This is a family outing that anyone over the age of five can participate in. Younger children can also go with you, but they will need to ride in the same float as an adult. A Little skill is needed, too, and that is why it can be so much fun for the whole family.

When you get there, you can choose between a round float, and a kayak. You start out at "the Barn," and then float down the Little Pigeon River for two-and-a-half miles. From there, you will be picked up by the company, and brought back to your starting place.

While you float down the river, you can enjoy the great scenery of the Smoky Mountains. They are tremendously beautiful and will help you relax, too. Although you will pass through some residential areas, there is also much scenery to enjoy.

If you start out earlier in the day, you can have time to have a picnic once you are brought back to "the Barn," and then go back out again. It is a great way to unwind and take in the sights and peculiarities of the river. Your tickets are good for the whole day and you can go out more than once.

Before you decide to go, however, it is a good idea to call ahead and talk to them about the river conditions. If the season is particularly dry, the river may be too low to float downstream. In a drought season, River Romp may be closed until the river levels are sufficiently raised again. They will gladly advise any callers as to the condition of the river on any day.

When it comes to spending money for fun in the area, there really is little that can compare. You get to ride for about two hours for just a little bit of money. Those riding in the kayaks will complete the trip in about 45 minutes. That's hard to beat. What may be even better is that while you are enjoying your ride, you simply just float down the river - no rush or traffic. Take your time, and get some sun at the same time. Your whole family will love it.

The River Romp provides you with all the equipment you need to enjoy your ride safely. They provide life jackets, equipment, facilities, and pick ups for you for the entire day. They are glad to also help handicapped people, too. Groups are more than welcome and some will even get a discounted price. If you are in the military, a church group, or work as a first responder, then you can get a great deal on the price of your tickets.

Getting to the River Romp for your day of fun floating carelessly on the river is not at all difficult. It is located right on the Dolly Parton Parkway which connects to the main road (441) through Sevierville.
