Tennessee whitewater - Clear Creek, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, unknown County
US 127 to Barnett Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 21 miles
This section of Clear Creek is 21 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The beautiful scenery of unknown County and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the US 127 to Barnett Bridge stretch is just one of them. The beautiful Cumberland Plateau Mountains
scenery is an added bonus. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Great exercise
and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Crossville. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that.
