Best goose comment contest…. GO!!!

The goose stole the video.😊

That was funny about the goose surfing! That's exactly what it looked like, LOL!

I like how that water would've killed any of us but the goose was just chillin and left when it got bored

0:07 well that goose got a Hawaiian roller-coaster ride GOOSE: Cowabunga dudes

It’s an awesome video. The slow motion of the water was cool. Thanks for sharing.

Really appreciated the sights and sounds of the rushing water. The slow capture of the water in there was beautiful, too. Thank you for showing us as we look through your lens. Had to giggle over the bird... imagine him on an inner tube! 😂

That Goose was like "I'm not sure where I'm goin', but I'm gonna get there real quick"😅!

Wow,, I was up following the storm chasers till early morning...so much devastation in several states ! Glad you guys are safe ! ❤😊

That goose is like “finally, some me time without the flock”

Pretty awesome footage ❤ the power of that water just crazy.

I hope everyone is safe. We are keeping you guys and everyone else in the area that we enjoy watching in our prayers. A beautiful area but scary too.

OMGOODNESS, y’all stay safe! My son lives in NW Georgia and said the storms were horrific!

That's pretty cool! Wish you could send some of that down here to Central Florida we are in a drought....

Wow it’s amazing how strong that water can get ,fast too. Be careful and stay safe😊

WOW awesome footage. Your videos are always good. The filming / editing its great. ❤️

Wonderful sound…stayed in a hotel right on that creek…..sleep like a rock…..so nice.

I hope everyone is ok. Me and my family will be there in 10 days. I hope the weather will be good then

Will be there in 10 days! Very ASMR 😮. Hope every one is safe!

Woooowww I love how the water smells.

Kool Goose ! Those waters are extremely dangerous for sure. When I was young & crazy, I would hit that in a kayak in a heart beat !! 😊

Goose went to the top and rode it again 😂

Wow ... Flooding again ... Wonderful video... Thanks for making this video so we can see what's going on .... We go a lot to Gatlinburg and love❤ it there 😊

Majestic Footage. SMF videos never disappoint.

Somewhere in our D.N.A. we are strill amazed by rain 😂😂😂😂

Hey Eric! Great video as always. Thanks for showing the beauty of high, rushing water in the Great Smoky Mountains.

That goose just chilling n riding it out the flood.😊

Whoa that's a lot of flood water

That's some amazing footage of nature at its finest. Thanks for sharing!

Prayers for those in the area who experienced even worse - there were some 'naders, too. It's been a rough week for a lot of folks around these parts. - Ed on the Ridge

I love hearing the creek flow an the goose says heck yeah surf time for the visitors i love Gatlinburg TN an my Smoky Mountains stay safe everyone

Fantastic Video! Thanks! We always stay at the Grey stone! Pretty, but scary! It was very loud!

Well that was a first... a surfing goose 😂. Stay safe y'all 💙🙏

Absoultely beautiful! Stay safe-

Glad to see Dusty around more ! 😊

I'm sorry that Gatlinburg is going threw this but I have to say its such a beautiful clean looking sight. Wish every town would take pride in how there town looks like they do. I know its a tourist town but still its just always so nice looking all year around.

Y'all stay safe! Outstanding video.

Beautiful! Thank you

Another great and informative video Eric keep up the good work.

Goose knows how to have fun 😂

Thanks for this video. What a contrast-extreme beauty mixed with an element of danger!

Didn't we see a video like this several months back?? where do you keep all this water. Send some over this way in the Western States.

Wow, Eric. The way it rained, we were wondering if it would be up to street level. Hope people use common sense and watch their kids, too. Thought about Handel's Water Music, but this makes its own music. Glad that goose was able to get out! Thanks for the video! 🌩️

Y'all did a good job on this. Beautiful powerful and deadly. And REALLY loud. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on 100k views Family 💪💪

Oh wow,You all stay safe...

So sorry, how's everyone? Prayers for a quick recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was without power for 12 hours over that storm

got my answer to the text lol thanks for the video and keeping us updated

Wow. It always amazes me at the amount of water the park and Gatlinburg can handle. When I lived in Houston it always flooded with much smaller amounts of water than that. Loved the Bold Eagle!!

Its beautiful ! Stay safe💗

Eric! You, and your family,and neighbors all stay safe!! Jim from E Ohio!🙏🙏🙏👍👍❤️❤️❤️😳

This is absolutely beautiful! Loved the slo-mo. So glad goose made it. He/she had me scared. Iwanna move to Tennessee now! 😊

Cool a few years ago we stayed at Graystone. Loved the view1

Flooding?! Looks to me like allllmost bank full…but definitely not flooding. Great video, love the natural sound audio!

Nice slow mo of the water❤

I was on vacation and leaving there yesterday and witnessed this as well in the community where our cabin was located. It was wild.

My sister lived in Germany for years and once when they were taking a boat cruise on the Rhine river she said there were ducks and geese that would wait for the boats to come by and surf the wake. She said it was very intentional. And there was a video of swans swimming out a way into the ocean and surfing in to the beach... and then doing it again. They are bored with just swimming I guess.

That was amazing. Goose having fun!

Great video. Well shot, well edited. Brought back fond memories of canoeing this stretch of West Prong of the Little Pigeon at flood stage and the most epic swim of my life. I understand the joy of the goose.

My daughter just came back from spending a week there. Glad she left a couple of days ago before this happened.

You did excellent on the video.

Great video, thanks for getting out there. I didn’t recognize where the bridge was that was supported by rocks?

Great footage.

I think we were in Gatlinburg on the way to camp in the Smokies, sometime in the early 1980s. Still beautiful. When we went to Mammoth Cave on that trip, the caves where they had boat rides was closed due to flooding. They didn't know if the boats had survived. Water, water, everywhere. Wish some could be saved for the dry times or sent to those that need it.

Wow! Eric, hope and pray everyone's okay. Really enjoyed your video! I wonder if someone would be white water rafting in that? You all and everyone else are in my thoughts and prayers. That water is beautiful! Love y'all and stay safe!❤️🙏

Ty for sharing sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch

Wow that is some powerful water!

Nice video, that was lots of rain and the water was very high 😮

Wow that's a lot of rain

Great footage

Sorry for the high water but what a beautiful place and cute town.

Goose was white water drifting. Flew upstream for another ride.

Hey Brother I am a local kayaker who loves to put in at the Chimney Tops Trailhead where you were filming. I will be on it soon. Thanks for a fabulous video.

Yall be safe we have flood here in Middle Tennessee

We were there last week left on the 6th and I couldn’t believe how low the water was 😮I had never seen it that low ! A few days later it went to this ?!?! WHAA ????

Awesome

Can’t imagine the power behind this water. I thought the goose was a goner.😂 Thanks for sharing.

I loved this. God takes care of all

I was just down that way just a few days ago... that river came up quick

What a powerful river. I know that is extremely loud. The goose had no problem in it. Just cruising along.

With so much development , ( I watch everything auto and they show a lot of neighborhoods in mountains etc) im very concerned about landslides. We’ve had a few small Ones on the nc side where I live. So many hillsides are being clear cut and bulldozed and more houses taking up more land. Not a good combination for ALL the rain the smokies gets.

Eric can certainly use that camera - great video. Stay safe

It’s a Beautiful video YA’ll 👍😄✌️🌞❤️🫶

Insane. Normally a calm little creek of a river nice to sit beside while you contemplate the meaning of life. Now a raging river!

That’s wild

Be safe !!

I’ll bet the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge was pretty impressive too!

It’s beautiful, but also terrifying!

Best video EVER!!!

We were just there for spring break. 😮 a little different in water level

Bet he (the goose) was goose necking at the high water & fell in. ❤😂

We are here now, and we were down there that day near Ripleys watching that water. Never seen it like that. I have noticed the crowds are really low right now. Is that normal for this time of year? Usually we are bumping into people walking down the parkway.

I've seen it going over the bridge at Greystone.

Wow we were just there left on the 2nd of May.

"Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' on the Riva!!! Gatlinburg, Gatlinburg, Gatlinburg is where the goose is rollin'!

Love the goose!

Nice vid

White water Rapid loving goose!! Thank you for sharing the happenings in the area! I hope I get to see an Eagle 🦅

Looks like any other day in Gatlinburg after a bunch of rain.
