I Tried Wild Bear Tubing In The Smokies

During our summer vacation at Pigeon Forge, TN, our family decided to go river tubing in Pigeon River with Wild Bear Tubing. Just 5 minutes from Dollywood and 8 minutes from the Pigeon Forge Strip. This family-friendly lazy river is an incredible way to beat the heat and take in the stunning scenery of the Great Smoky Mountains. Come along with us with to our summer tubing adventure. Let's Go!

    What a fun adventure Carl, look like the whole family had fun tubing down this river. Thew river is too mirky to see fish. I would love this Carl. So glad you had so much fun. Hope you all have an awesome week.

    Yea, most of the places were murky and where the water moved faster it was clear. So it made it tough. On a hot day this was a perfect activity for the family. Have a great weekend.

    Whoa this looks like so much fun!! We loved our trip to Pigeon Forge area, so pretty and such a fun spot. I wish we checked this place out though!! The tubing looks like so much fun. What a relaxing way to enjoy the beautiful nature of the smokies. That's right up my alley and a nice way to cool off haha. Great idea to bring the cooler too lol, H2O is important in the heat! Love your underwater hunt to see some fish! Last chance.... I SAW THE FISH!! You did it! hahaha hooray! The rapids look fun lol! Great job getting the yellow rope lol. What a great day. Awesome video as always!! :)

    We used to to visit Pigeon Forge quite often as a family when I was growing up. The place we stayed at was a little set of kitchenette units along the Pigeon River near the campgrounds. One of my earliest videos was on the place. Anyway, we used to tube down the river near there all the time. We never did it with a group that you paid though. Anyway, this video brought back some of those memories. Thanks you for sharing

    Look at you guys and your outdoor adventures!! See, no big deal! Soon you'll be doing backpacking trips!! ;-) Great story idea to find the fish and tie it all together. But did you REALLY get the shot of the fish at the end? Hmmmm? :-) The Pigeon River is so pretty and scenic. Its beautiful going through Pigeon Forge. There is a Buccee's at an exit of Sevierville as well so you probably passed two of them. Great River Cruise!!

    No hiking on this trip - way too many bears. That Fish shot has a story. I had a goal of getting all this fish shot and it would look great on a lazy river montage. After going through 30 min of footage (tried 6-7 times), I finally found it on try number 6 or 7. And that's how that story line came along. We did make it to a Buccee's and was surprised how busy it was.

    I am obsessed with tubing but usually have to drag the fam along... it's been a few years though. I suppose they would probably do better at an organized place like this. I just buy tubes and try going down a river but it is usually too shallow hehe Thanks for the heads up on the online savings. Family goals here! Great share and inspiration for our fam. Thanks :)
