This stretch of Caney Fork in White / Warren County is 1 miles long and it is classified as a class II-IV(V) section by American Whitewater. This stretch is very short so better bring some good walking shoes. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Rock Island State Park - Bridge above Blue Hole picnic area to picnic area section is one of them. There are campgrounds
quite near the river where you can camp. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The starting point is not too far from McMinnville, as you can see on the road map further down.
The beauty of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great plus for this river. The beautiful scenery of White / Warren County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here.
