You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. This stretch of Brush Creek is 1.3 miles long and is a class V+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is a very short stretch
so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. There are no other sections to paddle along Brush Creek than the Seventh Day Adventist Compound to Roaring Creek section. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. There are plenty of hotels here
if you want to spend a night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. The average Tennessee whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that many runs in this state are not easy.
