Tennessee whitewater - Bledsoe Creek, Sumner County

Sumner county, Ford west of Greenfield Road to Old Union Recreation Area section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     5 miles
 
Bledsoe creek was a real let down. The only time to go to this is if there has been atleast one inch of rain the previous day before you go. When we got there it was a dried up creek bed so there was no rafting for us that day; we just had to settle on practicing our rolls. Says Sean

This section of Bledsoe Creek in Tennessee is 5 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance
    you're all set. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. The wonderful Sumner County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. And of course, there
are campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, you can easily run it on an afternoon. This is the only paddling section along Bledsoe Creek.
