The starting location is a short drive from Tullahoma, as you can see on the road map further down. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away
    from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. The average Tennessee whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends
to be harder to run than those in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy.

Big Fiery Gizzard Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Tracy City section stretch is the only one.
