    in this river system, the Barnett Bridge to Jett Bridge stretch is just one of many. On this section you do get some distance, good for a one day paddling trip. The wild scenery of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is great. The wonderful Morgan County scenery and the beautiful
way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. There's camping available near Clear Creek.
