There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. 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. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother
nature will make you glad you came. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too. The nature scenery of Tennessee and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from
near and far. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The beauty of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great plus for this river. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove.
