  This stretch of Clear Creek in Morgan County is 4.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-III section. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. The beautiful Cumberland Plateau Mountains scenery is an added bonus. 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. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. The Barnett Bridge to Jett Bridge section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. The put-in location is a reasonable drive
from Harriman. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. The wonderful Tennessee scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The campgrounds here at Clear Creek are pretty good.
