Rock Island State Park - Bridge above Blue Hole picnic area to picnic area section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-IV(V) 1 miles
The average Tennessee whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The natural beauty of Tennessee and the water flowing gracefully down Caney Fork will make you feel great. This stretch of Caney Fork is 1 miles long and is a class II-IV(V) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is a very short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. You might have to settle for a hotel
a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The wild scenery
of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is great. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. If you're coming from McMinnville it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. The Rock Island State Park - Bridge above Blue Hole picnic area to picnic area stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system.
