Summertime is slowly waning, the days getting just a little bit shorter and the heat index climbing and climbing until the cooling of autumn. Before we say goodbye to the shuddering heat until next year, we figured we’d head out to the River Romp on the eastern side of the state. It’s a little-known gem that’s truly a magical experience in the heart of the mountains. Tennessee may be landlocked, but we do know how to enjoy the outdoors.
The Smokey Mountain River Romp is known as one of the top experiences in the heart of eastern Tennessee, and the family owned experience has been operating for thirty years.
Located in one of the most beautiful natural spaces in the south, you can experience the beauty of the Little Pigeon River under the watchful eye of the mountains.
