The wonderful Tennessee scenery and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. The Cumberland Plateau Mountains scenery is wonderful. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling
spots. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. The
average Tennessee whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too.
